C. Pedo, a Latin poet, whom Ovid calls siderus Pedo, the starry, on account of the loftiness of his style. There is now nothing of his extant except three elegies, of doubtful genuineness, and a fragment in Seneca.

ALBINUS or Albus, the name of a noble Roman family, the head of the gens Postumia. It produced many consuls and distinguished men. The first of the name, surnamed Regillensis, commanded, according to Livy, as dictator, in the great battle of the Lake Regillus; but Niebuhr considers the name to have been derived merely from the place of his residence.
