Rufinus

Rufinus wrote some of the most polished erotic epigrams in the Anthology. Nothing certain is known of him, and his date is uncertain, perhaps the second to the fourth century AD.

Paton's index lists a Rufinus Domesticus separately; the epigrams under that name are not filed here. The poems here are all those Paton heads “Rufinus” or attributes to him as “by the same”, mostly in Book V.
