		In fact, if one compares that portion of Festus which survives in MS F with the corresponding section of Paul’s epitome, it is clear that Paul may have cut quite a large percentage of Festus’ entries, often also suppressing the citations from ancient authors, which Festus had provided as context for the words discussed.
		Festus is not only significant for the study of antiquity: some of the many editions of the text have been produced by very notable scholars: for example Scaliger’s restorations of glosses in the manuscript stand as one of the first examples of modern scholarship.
		Festus is important, too, in terms of his numerous explicit citations of early Roman authors, from Fabius Pictor on.

		It survives only in a fragment of an abridgement created by the grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus in the second century A.D., which was further abridged by Paulus Diaconus in the eighth century (Collison 1982: 34; Engels 1961: 2; Sandys 1921: I, 200).
		Holtz (1981: 224) notes that three grammatical texts of the fifth and sixth centuries (those of Cledonius, Pompeius and Cassiodorus), [7] while revealing wide distribution of Donatus's manual, owe an equal debt to Servius; the fortune of the manual seems linked to that of its commentator.
		Its principal source is Festus, with additional material from Virgil, Terence, Apuleius, etc. (Laistner 1931: 178; Lindsay 1917: 120).

		In 1575, J. Scaliger produced a highly acclaimed edition in which he was praised for his success at completing blank portions of the Farnese manuscript, based on the evidence he extracted from glossaries and grammars.
		At the end of the 8th century an abridgment of the epitome of Festus was made by Paulus Diaconus, and this version covers the whole of the work.

	Latin Literature
		Perhaps the most distinguished of Augustan scholars was another equally celebrated teacher, Marcus Verrius Flaccus, who was chosen by Augustus as tutor for his two grandsons, and thenceforward held his school in the imperial residence on the Palatine.
		His lexicon, entitled _De Verborum Significatu_, was a rich treasury of antiquarian research: such parts of it as survive in the abridgments made from it in the second and eighth centuries, by Sextus Pompeius Festus and Paulus Diaconus, are still among our most valuable sources for the study of early Latin language and institutions.
		The more practical side of science in the same period was ably represented by Aulus Cornelius Celsus, the compiler of an encyclopedia which included comprehensive treatises not only on oratory, jurisprudence, and philosophy, but on the arts of war, agriculture, and medicine.

	Meditrinalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The festival was so called from medendo, because the Romans then began to drink new wine, which they mixed with old, and that served them instead of physic.
		A shadowy "Meditrina" ("healer") was associated with the festival by the 2nd century grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus, on the basis of which she is asserted to be the Roman goddess of health, longevity and wine in some modern sources.

		discusses 10 cases in which Festus' text is clearly at fault, 3 cases of trivial, and therefore stemmatically irrelevant, errors common to Festus and P (A is absent),
		To these he adds discussions of 6 more cases in which Festus preserves what he regards as variants stemming from the grammatical traditions, not clearly inferior but likely to have originated as glossae.

		But I argue that albus was a word common to very many peoples, and that among them it was a name not only for a colour, but also for height.
		Now Festus Pompeius asserts that what are named Alba by Latins are called Alpa by Sabines, and hence their name was given to the Alps, because they are white with perpetual snow.
		But I, though agreeing on the one point, that Albus and Alpus were said of the same thing by the ancients, relying on the authority not only of Festus but also of Strabo, think that the Alps were so named rather from their height than from their whiteness.

	The Cultural Significance of Roman Manumission
		Several ancient writers including Festus Sextus Pompeius (second century A.D.) record an early classical ceremony of manumission in which, rather than keeping silent, it is the master who executes the manumission ritual, performing symbolic actions which signify ownership of the slave, breaking the bond of possession, and liberation.
		A slave is said to be manumitted, when his owner holds that slave's head or some other part of his body and says "I want this man to be free" and takes his hand away from him [literally, "lets him go out of his hand"].
		Buckland mentions Festus, without giving a specific reference, and cites the very late Isidore, bishop of Seville, (A.D. 48 as his primary sources for this practice.

		He bases his interpretation on Sextus Pompeius Festus’s treatise On the Significance of Words, particularly on Festus’s note on the first tribunitian law.
		In this law it is noted, according to Festus, that “if someone kills the one who is sacred according to the plebiscite, it will not be considered homicide.”27 Moreover, and more surprisingly, Festus adds that it is not even permitted to “sacrifice this man”.
		In other words, in the case of homo sacer sacratio takes the form of a double exception: he is excluded from the sphere of the profane law (ius humanum) as well as that of the divine law (ius divinium):

		Montagu retorted that few would defend Paulus for that act any more than one would defend Festus in turn for his abridging of the great lost encyclopedia of Verrius Flaccus.
		Yet Paulus had made his abridgment not to supersede Festus, nor to take credit for another man's work, but for his private use and for the use of his students.
		"He was, if not the last, yet one of the last," says Montagu, "that undertook in this gelding kind." Festus would have perished utterly, Montagu observes a bit later, if Paulus had not made an epitome of him.
