This dissertation paper seems to have a lot more info on the poet. For starters, it gives a different birth year (409 vs. c. 414). Hybernator (talk) 00:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hybernator: thanks. We generally avoid Ph.D. dissertations as sources unless there are no other options. However, there's some stuff in there we might be able to use. White Whirlwind 咨 01:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
