Some debate that this may be a hoax.[1] I cannot say it is certainly a hoax, as the name may be properly Gaius Titus, which may possibly refer to Titus Quinctius Flamininus based on a source I placed on the talk page. Yet, if it is about Flamininus then we have a much better article on him, and there is literally nothing here we can merge as it is all uncited. No good source links the Latin phrase to him either. Thus this should just be deleted. It is either a hoax or else it is an ill informed duplicate of an existing page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We might expect to find "Caius" in reference sources, however—it was a typical rendering up to recently, and still might be found in works of a non-specialist nature. Gaius Titius would be a plausible name, although I don't think we know of anyone of that name who would match this description; the fact that the proverb was previously attributed to the emperor Titus, then changed to this improbable name by an anonymous IP editor without explanation—a figure who just a few days ago became an important historical figure with his own article, not sourced to any known Roman writer or modern historian—is what marks it out as a hoax to me.
