Quintilian, Institutes of Oratory 10.1.93
Elegia quoque Graecos prouocamus, cuius mihi tersus atque elegans maxime uidetur auctor Tibullus. Sunt qui Propertium malint. Ouidius utroque lasciuior, sicut durior Gallus.
In elegy too we challenge the Greeks. Here I think the most polished and elegant writer is Tibullus. Some prefer Propertius. Ovid is more extravagant than either, just as Gallus is more harsh.
