Nothing is really known of the author or date of the Disticha; it can only be assigned to the 3rd or 4th century AD. It is a small collection of moral apophthegms, each consisting of two hexameters, in four books. They are monotheistic in character, not specially Christian. The diction and metre are fairly good. The book had a great reputation in the middle ages, and was translated into many languages; it is frequently referred to by Geoffrey Chaucer, and in 1483 a translation was issued from William Caxton's press at Westminster.
