186 Austin Morris Hartiioji, 



I. 215. 8 subito renttntiasse — V. redundasset : read redundasse. 

 228. 29 propositi rcverteretnr—\ revertetur, which should be 



retained : Lofstedt, Eranos 1909, p. 4. 

 273. 20 veiiiae permitteretur — a case of synizesis (yeniae); see 



p. 223. 

 281. 21 tempore disserehamus — V disseremus; as the reference 



is uncertain, the reading should not be altered. 

 310. 34 aliqnid praesagicbat — N praesagebat; read praesagabat 

 (preferable to praesagibai, cf. Neue, Formenl. Ill, 293). 

 The next sentence also ends in III ;'. 

 II. 51. 28 JluiJiinis absorbebantur — V adorbibantiir; read sorbe- 

 bantnr. Cf I. 162. 35. 

 84. 30 praesidio custodiebat ~re.3.d custodibat. 

 138. 1 uiolibus conmuniebat — V conmovebat; read conmunibat, 



comparing I. 163. 7 (Neue, Formenl. III. 317-18). 

 162. 21 agitur et practercunda — perhaps we should read atque 



for et. 

 188. 17 provincia pervaderetiir — S3'nezesis. 

 In view of the state of the text in most instances, it seems to me 

 highly unsafe to assert that any of them ought to be interpreted 

 as examples of I without caesura. The reason for the avoidance 

 of this clausula is to be sought in the fact that its first accent was 

 much weaker than the same accent in other types of I, so that it 

 did not produce a cadence satisfactory to the ear. 



We find, then, that Ammianus used practically all the possible 

 types of each form, avoiding only the one-word types of I and II. 

 The types that are really common are not many; they are sum- 

 marized for the sake of convenience in the following conspectus 

 in which the statistics are ])ased on Book XXI.^ 



' Clausulae in II with C ftesura {vhnts exustus est) and in IV with ^ 

 {fidentius absolutus est) are here classified on the basis of the main caesura 

 (i. e. Ilyf as II y, VLS^ as II (f, IVcT* as \N 6).
