There were at Rome three of that name, famous for their gluttony. The second is the most celebrated of the three. He lived under Tiberius, spent immense sums on his belly, and invented divers sorts of cakes which bore his name. He kept as it were a school of gluttony at Rome. After having spent two millions and a half in entertainments, finding himself very much in debt, he examined into the state of his affairs; and seeing that he had but 250,000 livres remaining, he poisoned himself, out of apprehension of starving with such a sum. He had prostituted himself when very young to Sejanus.
