Excerpt from Cornelii Taciti Historiae: The History of Tacitus According to the Text In Pliny's [vellum] ffistory, vn. 17, we hear that a Cornelius Tacitus, Procurator of Belgic Gaul, had an overgrown and imbecile child, who - we are perhaps to understand - died in convulsions at three years old. Now, the cognomen Tacitus is not so common but that the identity of name creates a presumption of relationship between the two men bearing it perhaps, even, that the elder was the natural or adoptive father of the younger, - though, if the historian's father was a Cornelius, and his mother the sister or daughter of a Tacitus, whether Cornelius or no, this would account for his inheriting the name. If we could be sure that the father of the mons trosity was the father of the historian, there would be a certain interest in the fact, as proving that the elder Pliny was inti mate enough with the elder Tacitus to have seen a member of his family who would naturally be kept out of sight; and thus illustrating the beginnings of the friendship which we know to have existed between their namesakes in the next generation.
