TL;DRAbstract
A dedicatory poem to Priapus, written at Lampsacus, one of the chief seats of the worship of the god. Few poems of Catullus are so often quoted by the grammarians as this; it is ascribed to him by Terentianus Maurus, Atilius Fortunatianus, and Marius Victorinus, and cited, though without the author's name, by Censorinus p. 97 Iahn. The metre is called Priapeus, and was particularly associated with this ithyphallic divinity: it recurs in this connexion Priap. 85 ed. L. Müller Hunc ego o iuuenes locum uillulamque palustrem, a poem which was long ascribed to Catullus and inserted in the editions of his works. Catullus himself uses the metre XVII O colonia quae cupis ponte ludere longo.
