From Suetonius (De grammaticis, 23) we learn that he was originally a slave who obtained his freedom and taught See also:grammar at See also:Rome. Though a See also:man of profligate and arrogant See also:character, he enjoyed a See also:great reputation as a teacher; See also:Quintilian and See also:Persius are said to have been his pupils.

An extant Ars grammatica (discovered by Jovianus See also:Pontanus in the 15th See also:century) _and other unimportant See also:treatises on similar subjects have been wrongly ascribed to him. See C. Marschall, De Remmii Palaemonis libris grammaticis (1887); " Latin Grammar in the First Century " by H. See also:Nettleship in See also:Journal of See also:Philology, vol. xv. (1886) ; J. E.
