- the name of a Roman gens, Cic. Att. 16, 11, 1; id. Phil. 2, 2, 3; id. Fin. 2, 17, 55 al.
the name of a family of the municipium of Arpinum. Some of the members of it settled at Rome, while others remained in their native place. The Fadii appear in history about the time of Cicero, but none of them rose to any higher office than the tribuneship. The only cognomens that occur in the family, are Gallus and Rufus. The following have no surnames:--
1. C. or Q. Fadius, for in one of the two passages in which he is mentioned, he is called Caius, and in the other Quintus. He was a libertinus, and seems to have possessed considerable wealth, for his daughter, who was married to M. Antonius, is called a rich woman. (Cic. Philipp. 2.2, ad Att. 16.11.)
2. L. Fadius, was aedile in his native place of Arpinum, in B. C. 44. (Cic. Att. 15.15, 17, 20.)
3. SEX. FADIUS, a disciple of the physician Nicon, but otherwise unknown. (Cic. Fam. 7.20.) [L.S]
