Festus, De Verborum Significatu 188L (late second century A.D.): Octaviae porticus duae appellantur, quarum alteram, theatro Marcelli propriorem, Octavia soror Augusti fecit; alteram theatro Pompei proximam Cn. Octavius, Cn. filius qui fuit aedilis curulis, praetor, consul, decem virum sacris faciendis triumphavitque de rege Perse navali triumpho: quam combustam reficiendam curavit Caesar Augustus. There are named two Octavian porticoes, of which Octavia, sister of Augustus, built the one nearer the theater of Marcellus, Gnaeus Octavius Cn. f., who had been curule aedile, praetor, consul, decem virum sacris faciendis and triumphed over the king Persius in a naval victory, [built] the one closest to the theater of Pompeius: Caesar Augustus saw that this one having been burnt was to be restored.
