Canus , Q. Gellius
a friend of T. Pomponius Atticus, was struck out of the proscription in B. C. 43 by Antony on account of the friendship of the latter with Atticus. (Nepos, Att. 10; comp. Cic. Att. 13.31, 15.21.) The Cana to whom there was some talk of marrying young Q. Cicero, was probably the daughter of this Gellius Canus. (Ad Att. 13.41, 42.)
Canus , Ju'lius
a Stoic philosopher, who promised his friends, when he was condemned to death by Caligula, to appear to them after his death, and inform them of the state of the soul after quitting the body.
