“There was a melody called Linus after the poet. Athenaeus says it was a very melancholy strain.”

Fuller, Margaret. "On Xenophon, Cyrus, and Socrates." Houghton Library, Harvard University.

Inferred Fuller names Athenaeus in the context of a claim about the melody Linus; this appears in the Deipnosophistae. Fuller names Athenaeus and cites his claim about the Linus melody. The most likely source is Athenaeus's Deipnosophistae (The Dinner-Table Philosophers), an encyclopedic work on music, food, and culture.
