Comentary

The sequence quondam magno appears in Stat. Silv. 3,2,96 (si quondam magno Phoenix reverendus Achili | litus ad Iliacum Thymbraeaque Pergama venit | imbellis tumidoque nihil iuratus Atridae, | cur nobis ignavus amor?). The same sequence appears in a funerary carmen of the 3rd c., CLE 1963, (+ Marius factis et nomine quonda(m) | + magn[o patriae dilectus amore] | +), which allows us to suppose that this could be composed in dactylic hexameters.
