Anonymous: On the Origin of the Roman People

The origin of the Roman people from the founders Janus and Saturn, through the rulers succeeding each other,1 to the tenth consulate of Constantius, digested from the authors: Verrius Flaccus, Antias (that's how this Verrius preferred to call [him], rather than 'Antia'), then from the Pontifical Annals, 2 then Cincius, Egnatius, Veratius, Fabius Pictor, Licinius Macro, Varro, Caesar, Tubero, and from all the old histories; 3 then those writing about recent times, that is Livy and Victor Afer.




1sibimet: 'sibi' plus the suffix -met (compare egomet) - Steven 



2ex annalibus pontificum: "from the annals of the pontifices" - that would have pontifex in the plural genitive, pontificorum; here, it's used as an adjective.  



3ex omni priscorum historia: "from every account of ancient times" or "of ancient writers"
