Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovid

(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Roman poet, d. about AD17" , "Void for old Roman poet" , "Vi, do read the Latin poet" , "Roman poet exiled by Augustus to Tomi on the Black Sea, where he died, AD 17" , "Void for a Latin poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
