I'm trying to find dates for the following ancient Virgil critics,
mentioned by Suetonius/Aelius Donatus:

- Perellius Faustus, author of a book on Virgil's furta

- Q. Octavius Avitus, author of the eight-volume "Resemblances"

Nothing on either figure in Stok and Brugnoli's ed. of Donatus, the Oxford
Classical Dictionary, or the Oxford Companion to Classical Literature.
Nothing in Perseus, either. Any suggestions?
