... laurus aeternos honores Delmatico peperit triumpho. ...


From the Paul Shorey commentary: After his consulate B.C. 40 (cf. Verg. Ecl. 4) Polio was sent against the Parthini, a Dalmatian tribe, by Antony, and celebrated a triumph over them B.C. 39 (cf. l. 15; Verg. Ecl. 8; Dio, 48.41). From the spoils he established the first public library at Rome (Pliny, N. H. 7. 115, 35. 10).
