Alcimus (Avitus) Alethius was the writer of seven short poems in the Latin Anthology. Classical scholar J. C. Wernsdorf believed him to be the same person as Alcimus, the rhetorician in Aquitania, in Gaul, who is spoken of in terms of high praise by Sidonius Apollinaris and Ausonius. It is possible however that Apollinaris was referring to his contemporary, Avitus of Vienne, also known as Alcimus

"Lux mea puniceum misit mihi Lesbia malum: iam sordent animo cetera poma meo. sordent uelleribus uestita cydonia canis, sordent hirsutae munera castaneae; nolo nuces, Amarylli, tuas nec cerea pruna: rusticus haec Corydon munera magna putet. horreo sanguineo male mora rubentia suco: heu graue funesti crimen amoris habent! missa et dente leui paulo libata placenta: nectarea e labris dulcia liba suis: nescio quid plus melle sapit, quod contigit ipsa spirans Cecropium dulcis ab ore thymum."
