Who is Junius Philargyrius?

Junius Philargyrius was an early commentator on the Bucolica and Georgica of Vergil, dedicated to a certain Valentinianus. He was a member of the Junia gens, active in Milan.

The commentary is preserved in two recensions: one is found in the Berne scholia. The other contains Explan. 1 and 2 on the Buc., and the Brevis expositi on the Georg..

The text is later than the first quarter of the 5th century, but there is no certain terminus ante quem, and dates in the 6th or 7th century are possible.
