I had put off GA reviewing this because I peer reviewed the article, but I've done all of the other GAs I was interested in, and this has been waiting around for two months now, so unless you would particularly prefer someone else to do it I'll try to get you a review soon.

General Comments
It might be nice to discuss the poem's place in the tradition of Christian interpretations of pagan literature, especially since Virgil was a perennial subject of this – from Constantine at least up to Dante's Divine Comedy. Did Proba specifically choose Virgil because of this? Does she conciously refer to this tradition? Is she referenced by later authors who wwork in this tradition?
I added a paragraph in the 'background' section that expands upon Virgil. I can't really find any source that explains why she cited him exactly, but I added a bit on why he was often imitated.--Gen. Quon(Talk)20:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
It isn't clear in the article why most scholars think that Jerome's garrula anus refers to Proba rather than anyone else. Is there any particular reason?
I added the bit "...in which he criticized Virgilian centos..." to make it clearer that the assumption is based largely on the contents on the letter and how closely he seems to allude to the work of Proba.--Gen. Quon(Talk)20:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've made a couple of copyediting changes to tighten up the article's prose; you might want to check to make sure you are happy with them.
Okay, so looking at the article again, it definitely passes criteria 2 (verifiable/no OR), 4 (NPOV), 5 (stability), and 6 (images). I think it's also okay on criterion 1. I'm wavering over whether it is sufficiently broad in its coverage, though. I really would like it if the article addressed how the poem fits into the tradition of Christian interpretations of pagan lit in general and Virgil in particular, as above.

Thanks for the review. I'll get to work on this ASAP. (I have a few commitments the next couple of days, but I'll definitely get to it after those. Will that be an issue?)--Gen. Quon(Talk)15:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Looks good to me. I'll give the entire article one more read-through tomorrow to make sure, but based on the quick look I just had I suspect you are going to be the lucky recipient of another GA credit very shortly...
Okay, I've read through the article again, and nothing jumps out at me as being obviously problematic. Writing is perfectly clear and grammatical, if not always brilliant; article is well-cited, broad enough, stable, and the images are fine. I'm passing this one. Congratulations!
