57. Portium] Leonardus de Portis
(c. 1464 — 15 Sept. 1545), a lawyer
of Vicenza, author of De sestertio, pecu¬
niis, ponderibus et mensuris antiquis. In
his Suetonius, Aug. 1516, f°. ;, Egna¬
tius states that it had been composed
five years before ; but the preface he
wrote for an edition, perhaps the first,
of the De sestertio, s.a. et l., shows that it
was not printed till some years after
the Suetonius. This edition was re¬
printed by John Froben, s.a.; and by

Budaeus on reading Egnatius’ note
feared that he might be thought to
have borrowed from Portius, and urged
Egnatius to get the book printed (BE.*
24: 27 Nov. 1518). Erasmus raised the
question of plagiarism again in 1527
(Lond. xx. 9, LB. 875), and moved
Budaeus to inquire of J. Lascaris, who
replied (BE. f. 131 v°) that he had
seen a ms. copy of Portius’ book in
Leo x’s early years at Rome; cf. also
BE. 163, and Lond, xxiv. 18, LB, 1198.
