From Chapter 35 of the Decline & Fall

Theodoric II. revered, in the person of Avitus, the character of his preceptor.

__Mihi Romula dudum
Per te jura placent; parvumque ediscere jussit
Ad tua verba pater, docili quo prisca Maronis
Carmine molliret Scythicos mihi pagina mores. Sidon. Panegyric. Avit. 495, etc.
