Resumo: Statius’ Silvae 4,8 is a genethliakon addressed to Julius Menecrates, son-in-law of Pollius Felix, on the occasion of the birth of his third child, whose gender is never overtly disclosed. The subtlety of Statius’ allusions to the infants – two boys and a girl –, combined with a reference to grandchildren of Pollius at Silvae 3,1, has fostered disparate theories regarding the gender of the newborn. Contradicting the more recent readers, I revive an old interpretation of Silvae 4,8 according to which the newborn is the girl, while eliminating an apparent obstacle to this hypothesis.
