Acro, Pseudo-°
ACRO, PSEUDO-°
ACRO, PSEUDO- °, a scholium to Horace which from the 16th century was ascribed to Acro, a second-century commentator. The actual author is unknown. The Jewish interest in the work is contained in a note on *Horace's Satiresi, 9, 70, which states that since Moses was born circumcised, he wanted all the Jews to follow suit so that he would not be unique.
