Prudentius, Rome's great Christian poet, flourished during the closing years of the fourth century and the early years of the fifth. He lived in an age luminous by the presence of such eminent Christian writers as Ambrose, St. Jerome, and Augustine, the Augustan age of Patristic literature; an age possessing the dis- tinction of having produced Symmachus and Ammianus, " the last respectable representatives of the Roman religion in litera- ture," the former, Prudentius' most formidable adversary ; an age which produced Claudianus, and the great grammarians Servius and Donatus. Born in a distant province and spending the greater portion of his life remote from Rome, Prudentius soon became her best representative in the field that he had chosen. He was one of those children of Spain who gave to the Eternal City her best in more than one department of literature. Spain, the mother of Rome's greatest rhetorician, was also the mother of Rome's greatest Christian poet. TeuffeP pronounces Prudentius an " enthusiastic and artistic poet," and in referring to his verses in praise of the Christian faith and its martyrs, speaks of their •' brilliant and picturesque style."' Others are no less loud in their praise. From the times of Sidonius Apollinaris down through the Middle Ages to our own time, he has been cited, quoted and praised.' "Prudentius," remarks Milman,* "even in Germany, was the great popular poet of the Middle Ages ; no work but the Bible a|)pears with so many glosses in High German, which shows that it was a book of popular instruction." Mico the Levite quotes more largely from him than from any other of the Christian poets.' But it was not in Germany alone that his works were read and admired. In other countries frequent references are ' Teuffel. Kom. Lit. (Transl. of 5th Ed.), §424. 'Idem, §436. ' Puech, Prudence, p. 36; Manitius, Christ. Lat.

Phil., 1S93, p. 20. made to him in the MSS. of various authors, and his poems are mentioned in the catalogues of a number of libraries.' His influence upon his successors, immediate as well as more remote, may be judged from the fact that he was imitated to a greater or less extent by Paulinus Petricordiae, by Sedulius, Ale. Avitus Ruricius, Fortunatus, Corippus, and Gregory of Tours.^ He lived in an age when the classic poets were especially studied ; when the Christian poets sought not only to rival them in strict- ness of technique, but also to revive the spirit of those models ; when the literature proceeds from the schools and most of the authors are " rhetors " also.^ It was largely an age of artificiality and false ornament, and Prudentius' writings show that he was not entirely free from these faults ; some passages are obscure, some painfully prolix. He seems to have been not wholly unconscious of the dangers that his fatal copiousness exposed him to; cf. the close of the praef. to S. H: loquax lingua, 45; ventisque eloquii tumet, 58 ; fluctibus obruat, 65 ; sometimes he does not escape, sometimes he is submerged by the waves of his own verbosity. He wrote not as those mentioned by Lactantius,* nor as St. Augustine' himself, so much for the people as for the cultivated class of his time ; and his wide acquaintance with the poets of Rome" as well as with the writings of the Church Fathers, the beauty and polish of many of his lines, his earnestness and fervor, must have won for him no small portion of the favor and esteem of that class. Nor further can it be maintained that his latinity is " confessedly impure," as has been done,' basing the statement upon the expression, "audi poetam rusticum," P. 2, 574. By this Prudentius does not wish to say that he wrote impure Latin, but, like Lucifer (p. 256, 7), that he felt that he was > Manitius, SBer. Wiener Akad., 117 (1889) XII, 26 ; also Rhein.

(Prudentius). no " rhetor," that his was only an unpracticed and inartistic style,' and the entire expression should be treated as a confession prompted by feeling's of humility and of his own unworthiness. For his Latin in the main follows his models closely and is far superior to that of the other Christian poets. As Boissier says/ these public confessions are not to be interpreted too literally ; it was the fashion of the period to exaggerate one's shortcomings. The object of the present work is twofold : first, a study of the syntactical and metrical usage of Prudentius, and, to a certain extent, of his style, together with a brief introduction on the Forms ; and secondly, a comparison of the latinity of that author with the latinity of Juvencus, an author of the same country and of the same century ; to ascertain wherein they are alike and in what they differ, and to determine in this way the relation of Prudentius to his predecessor, aiming throughout to throw some Ught upon the latinity of the age. In order to facihtate such a comparison, the investigation has been pursued on parallel lines to those followed by Hatfield in his study of Juvencus, a plan based for the most part upon Draeger's "Syntax und Stil des Tacitus.'" Comparisons are also made at different points with the usage of Vergil, more particularly in §§iii, 112, 113, 118, 119, 141, 142, 143; and with the usage of Horace in §§145, 146. Parallel pas- sages in other authors have also been added by way of illustra- tion, chiefly through the assistance of the valuable indices of the volumes in the Vienna Corpus Script. Eccl. Lat. The work is based entirely upon Dressel's edition,' which, though the result of a careful collation of some of the most important manuscripts and marking a decided advance in many respects over its predecessors, still has one conspicuous defect. Dressel has catalogued and described in the Prolegomena to his edition the manuscripts he used, but he was led into error in a number of cases from a lack of knowledge of the readings of the MS. Puteanus. This has been collated by Faguet,' p. 29 et seq. A number of minor errors, chiefly typographical, occur, among ' Sittl, Archiv f. d. lat.

But to which of these categories a form is to be assigned is often a matter of very great difficulty.' Schol- ars are not always in agreement, take e. g. the form quis (C. 3, 27) ; Wotke," Sittl,' and Weise* regard it as an archaism, while Riemann" and Wolfflin' assign it to the sermo familiaris; cf. also §i9b. Both views may be right, as the vulgar and the archaic often are identical. In Prudentius there is less of the colloquial than in other writers of the same period, though the popular dic- tion from the second century on was beginning to be used more and more freely even by the best writers, and to be found also in the official records.' Archaisms were introduced by the Christian poets as a matter of course ; Vergil had made use of them," and he was their standard. So we find them often, one might almost say, zealously introduced." A complete list of either the archa- isms or of the vulgarisms would not be within the scope of this work. But some of the more striking and some used already by Juvencus will be given here, together with other peculiar forms. A list neither complete nor exact is given by Kantecki.'" In Declension the following may be noted : aquai, A. 702 (used by Vergil, Aen. 7,464; probably from him); such forms occur about 25 times in Plauius, cf. Trin. 359 (Bx), (Neue, I, 11, and ' Cf .

Vulgus is twice used as masc, P. 6, 51, and S. i, 580; so used in Juv. 4, 611 ; Riemann says this belongs to the sermo famillarls (Etude, p. 18).

Eel. 3, i ; 5, 87 ; ciiias (-atis) occurs in Ps. 708. volupe, P. 9,41 ; the occurrence of such a form has been disputed.' Though volup may be the correct form for Plaut. and Ter., volupe I regard to be above dispute here. But Delbriick' remarks, " whether the older form volupe is to be read in Plautus I am not able to decide," and Reifferscheid, Arnob. 268, 19, says, "volupe scrip- turn fuisse apparet," though he reads volup.* Georges", Lex. d. lat. VVortformen, and Manitius, Rhein. Mus. 45 (1890) p. 491, regard volupe as the reading of this passage.' It is the reading of Obbarius, Arevalo and Dressel.

Prud. uses 16 forms in -ier ; of these, 10 are in the hexameter poems; 8 are in the 4th and 5th ft.; 2 in the 3d and 4th ; only 2 out of the 16 forms were used before, dicier (Plaut. and Pers.), spargier (Hon), if the list in Neue, II ^ 409 is complete.

Also: dito (divito), S. 2, 998 ; reposto, S. 2, 967. A comparison of Prudentius with Juvencus and Vergil in their use oiih^perf. ind. act. T,rd pi. shows that while Prudentius is in bulk about 3 times as much as Juv., he has used practically the same number of these forms, and that in the use of -ere he falls much below Vergil. There are 72 occurrences in all, 39 being in -ere to 33 in -erunt, which gives for Prudentius, taking into con- sideration only the hexameter poems, 29 in -ere to 20 in -erunt, or 60 per cent, of the former to 40 per cent, of the latter. Pru- dentius does not use as many forms in -ere as Juv. by 10 per cent., and falls 22 per cent, below the Vergilian usage in the Aeneid (Wotke, Wien. Stud. 8). Claudianus also shows a strong prefer- ence for the forms in -ere, according to Birt, Archiv, 4, 592. Prudentius uses 30 forms in -erunt not in Vergil, 20 in his hexa- meter poems not in Vergil. Instead of -ris in 2nd pers. sing., re, the older form,' character- istic of the sermo familiaris, occurs at least 16 times. Such forms were particularly frequent in Plautus, 170 out of 200 ending in -re (Engelbrecht, Stud. Ter. App. 88), while in Terence all, 56, end in -re. In Prudentius the forms balance each other, 18 in -ris, 18 in -re; of -re forms, 12 are in ind., 6 in subj. ; of forms in -ris, 13 are in ind., 5 in subj. II.— SYNTAX. A. Simple Sentences. I, Declarative Sentences. a) The Subject. §4. The Subject expressed in the First and Second Person. — The pronouns are not as a general thing expressed, unless to express emphasis or to give definiteness. Eviphasis : nos fatentes loquemur, C. 4, 100 ; nos vescimur, C. 5, 107 ; ipse ego sum, S. 2, 220; tu inlinis, C. 9, 35 ; vos celebra- bitis, S. I, 53 ; cf. also C. 9, 7 ; 10, 17 ; P. i, 64 ; 5, 34 ; 10, 20. Note. The emphatic expression tuie ipse occurs in A. 674 ; P. 2, 261 ; 9, 69; 10, 957 ; a not infrequent expression in Plautus and Terence." Other expressions may be noted here, se ipsum, A. 251 ; semet, P. 2, 20 (Cypr. Gall. Ex. 649); vosmet, A. 1080; egomet, H. 789; suopte,' S. 2, 474 (suapte, Priscill. 54, 15); sibi- met, P. 12, 25 ; S. i, 200; 2, 359; 440. Mihimet, S. 2, 265. Antithesis : nos novimus, C. 2, 45 ; nos reddimus, C. 4, 75 ; sed nos mersimus, A. 217; ille vetuit, tu prohibeto, S. 2, 1125; ast ego feram, P. 3, 208; tu revehes, P. 4, 53; ego nescio, P. 10, 1000. Less emphatic : not so common, nos intelleximus, A. 235; nos volumus, H. 559; tu extollis, P. 2, 201 ; cf. also P. 4, 193; 5, 25 ; 10, 585. Note. A change in the number of the subject seems to occur in : nos date perluamus, ut absolvam, P. 4, 195 ; and possibly in : leiunamus, ait, recuso potum, P. 6, 54. 'Cf. Stolz, Hist. Gram. d. lat. Spr. I, §366 (1894). *Verg. Eel. 3, 35; for further examples cf. Georges, Lex. d. lat. Wort- form., and Neuc, Formenlehre. »Cf. Luc. Mueller, De Re Mctr.» (1894), p. 485- lO §4a. Impersonal Verbs: vivitur, C. 2, 33; S. 2, 471, 610; itur, C. 7, 108; 10, 92; datur, C. 3, 192; creditur, S. 2, 504; exi- gitur, C. 3, 121 ; ventum erat, Ps. 665 ; ventum, A. 207 ; P. 2, 178 ; P. 5, 213; perventum, P. 10, 826 ; eundum est, P. 12, 26; dicen- dum, Pr. 31 ; luctandum, S. 2, 149; vigilandum, Pspr. 52; revo- landum, H. 815; sudatum est, Ps. 820; iussum est, P. 6, 41. Note. The impersonal verbs relating to natural occurrences do not seem to occur, but the following are worthy of note : arbor pluit, C. 3, 79 ; Dominus pluit, A. 316 ; cf. the Greek, Her. 2, i, 13: o Osbq, uzi;^ nubes verna pluit, S. 2, 788; imber pluit, P. 10, 1032. This use of phtW^ has hitherto been observed only in Pliny (N. H.), Statius and Arnobius, according to Draeger, Hist. Synt.^ §98. Other uses : Roma erubuit, pudet, odit, S. i, 512; and it ille nee pudet sequi, P, 2, 177; (this personal use oi pudet is to be regarded as an archaism) virtutem nil vile decet, S. 2, 752 ; cf, flexus deceat miserationem, Quint, 1,11,12. A number of instances occur in Horace. Paenitens occurs in Pspr. 49; cf. also S. i, 517: ubi videt paenitet, cupit ; cf, paeniteo, S,'^ 48, 16, lat. Sirach (Archiv, 9 (1894) 253. Est-=^\\. is possible: visere est non, H. 82 ; cernere erat, A. 64, cf, Verg. Aen. 6, 596 ; 8, 676. For other occurrences cf. Wolfflin, Archiv, 2, 135 ; Hauler, 3, 537 ; Thielmann, 8, 260, 556. b) Predicate. a) In General, §5. Present Participle with Copula : this periphrasis occur- ring so frequently in Lucifer of Cagliari, Hartel citing about 75 examples of its use, appears but once in Juvencus (Hatfield), and but twice in Prudentius ; unum erit gigneus, H. 43 ; and una via est errans, S, 2, 896 (?). Much more frequent, however, in the Vulgate N, T. ; here, according to Milroy,^ it occurs 138 times with esse. Note : habere with perf. pass. part, occurs in S. i, 211 ; persu- asumque habuit. This usage was employed by Caesar, cf. i, 9, 3; 15, I, etc. ^ Cf, also Aristoph, Nub. 368 and Kock's note (1894 ed,), * KoEfmane, Gesch. d, kirch. Lat., p. 117, on pluit in the sense of " per- mits to rain," cites its use in the Vulgate, in Tert., Arnob., August,, and others; see also Am. Journ, Phil, XV (1894), p, 353. 3 Milroy : The Participle in the Vulgate New Testament, Baltimore, 1892. II §6. Omission of Verb. i) Omission of forms of esse is very common: certa fides, H. 922; nosse nefas, C. 3, 116; O beatus ortus ille, C. 9, 19; nam verbum Dcus, C. 11, 24; siimma quies, Ps. 609; nihil summum (est), H. 22 ; qui solus ac verus Deus, P. 5, 39 ; cf. also S. i, 287, 477, 656 ; S. 2, 823 ; H. 330 ; P. 2, 429. Cf. also §4a. Note : esse is often omitted when it constitutes part of the in- finitive, as, negandum, C. i, 52; prolapsum, C. i, 58; velandam, A. 628; persuasum,S. I, 283 ; relatos, P. i, 96 ; reditura, A. 1081 ; cremandos, P. 6, 50, etc. 2) Verb of saying : Haec ubi legatus, S. 2, 17; martyr ad ista nihil, P. 3, 126 ; vix haec ille, P. 1 1, 89 ; ille sub haec, P. 13, 92. Such omissions are frequent in Juvencus (H,), though not occur- ing often in Prudentius; cf. also quid, quod Veritas patet? P. 10, 231 ; quid, cum accipit? P. 10, 1076. /?) Agreement. In general the usual constructions are found, but it may be noted that when several subjects are joined asyndetically, the verb is usually in the plural, as e. g. Ps. 449, 464, and H. 358. §7. Agreement of Number (cf. §4, note). i) Plural with Collectives: pars conscendunt celeres, C. 5, 55 ; (cf. pars tergent, Aen. 7, 626). Both numbers occur in P. 11, 189; omnis adorat pubis, eunt, redeunt. The verb in subordinate clause is plural in P. 10, 83 ; inlitterata credidit frequentia ut se con- secrandos autumnent, also P. 10, 697. The singular is more frequent, pars, H. 817; P. 9, 56; pubes, C. 5, 69 (but cf. 73); turba, C. 5, 53; 7, 152; P. 10, 80; grex, P. 10, 56: plebs, C. 5, 68; P. 5,391 ; A. 330; inventus, P. 14, 29. 2) Predicate Verb in Singular after several subjects : proter- vitas et luxus foedavit, Praef. 12; nemus et vernat coma, C. 8, 45; virginitas et fides bibit, A. 583; maiestas, bonitas et pietas tua continuat, C. 5, 163. §8. Agreement of Gender. i) Masculine for Neuter. Prudentius always uses the neuter with milia, as e. g. C. 9, 59; Juv. uses the masc. once, i, 170 (H.). 2) Masculine after Persons of different sexes : locus et Petu- lantia primi, Ps. 433 ; this seems to be nearest approach to such a usage, and probably the only example. 12 r) Tenses. §9. The Historical Present is very common and, as in Ju- vencus, occurs more frequently than the past tenses in narration. §10 Interchange of Tenses. i) Per/. Infill, for Pres. : abesto procul ne libeat tetigisse quid, C. 3, 177 ; quis dixisse ausit, H. 45 (cf. Ov. Tr. i, 5, 4) ; cf. Commod. 15, 11, amasse debuerat ; Ennodius, 234, 5, debuit sus- cepisse ; 365, 5, potuit intulisse.' 2) Fut. Imperative for Pres. : O Nazarene, adesto, C. 7, 3 ; cf. Adesto et percipe, P. 5, 545 ; also S. i, pr. 84 ; S. 2, 1123.= 3) A mixture of tenses sometimes occurs, as of the historical present and perfect in : Roma erubuit, pudet, odit, S. i, 512 ; ille agit et canit. Flevit Africa, P. 13, 96 ; dat poculum, fixum .... deinde monuit, C. 6, 61 ; cf. Claud. Mar. Vict. 3, 264. Note. The pres. infin. for the future, frequent in Commodianus, does not seem to occur; but cf. Eugippius, 25, 2; promittentes se obviare; Ennod. 50, 16, remittere promisi. §11. Present Subjunctive after a past tense: but few cases occur, perhaps only: stulta delegit Deus ut concidant sophistica, Apr. (2) 30, but with regular sequence in the foil, clause ; (cf. Paul Ep. ad Cqr. i. i, 27, i^zXi^azo, and elegit of Vul- gate, foil, by pres. both times, but by imp. in verse 28), percurrit arundo quadrent ut, Ps. 827 ; corpusque parens fecit ut possit, S. 2, 259; iussit ne quis adoret, Commod. i, 8, 7. §12. Tenere with almost the force of an auxiliary verb occurs 3 times in Juvencus according to Hatfield ; I have found but two cases in Prudentius that are at all similar : quern gaza dives ac triumphus impeditum tenebant, Pspr. 25, and quo corda hominum coniuncta teneret amor, S. 2, 590, cf. the Spanish, teyier; this usage occurs also in Cicero.' §13. Gnomic Perfect. A few cases occur: Felix qui meruit visere principem, C. 5, 33 ; voluit Pater ipse coniectare, H. 82 ; Felix qui potuit uti, H. 330; felices animae quibus contigit, P. 6, 98. The present also occurs, though neither frequently. ' See further, Howard, The Perfect Infinitive with the Force of the Present, Harv. Stud, i, p. 122 (1890). '^ Forms in -to are frequent in Plaut., Riemann, Rev. d. Phil. 10(1886), p. 161. 'Thielmann, Archiv, 2, 403. 13 S) Moods. I. Subj^inctivc. §14. Optative, generally without utinam ; once with utinam : O utinam corporis eniicem liber, Praef. 44. §15. Potential. a) Auae tuba aequiperare queat ? C. 3, 85 ; in rhetorical questions frequently: C. 5, 30; 8, 50; Apr. (2) 17, 631, 672, 850, 939; H. 230; S. I, 79, 267,271 ; 2, lor ; P. 1,112, etc.; in direct statements: ausim, H. 80; S. i, 646; deponas velim, S. i, 499 5 2, 270; P. 2, 169; II, 234; discas, A. 834; putares, P. 6, 109. (With an indefinite subject in 2nd person : videas, C. 5, 79 ; audias, P. i, 103; credas, P. 4, 73; C. 5, 145; and videres, P. 2, 281 ; cerneres, C. 9, 100 ; P. 5, 334.) b) Aoristic perf. = pres. is rare : crediderim aliquem se dixisse deum, S. I, 176. §16. Jussive. Frequent, as, agnoscat ludaea legens, A. 384; frenentur ergo cupidines, C. 7, 21; nemo accuset, H. 524; te volvant, Ps. 94, cf. also S. 2, 289 ; P. 10, 116; Pr. 38, etc. 2. Imperative. §17. The Future is used for the Imperative in: ignibus vorabere et fies, P. 10, 815. This occurs much more frequently in Juvencus. Cf. also, vade et dices, Vict. Vit. 42, 24. Used already by Horace, cf. S. i, i, 16; 105. §18. Imperative correlated with Jussive Subj.: terge neve tingat, C. 8, 25; psallat, psallite, C. 9, 22; occidat scrutare, C. 12, loi ; elige rem vitae, tua virtus provehat, H. 705 ; ebibe cruorem, sint haec tibi, Ps. 428; abscide caput, crux istum toUat, P. n, 65 ; cf. also P. I, 119; 4, 150; 9, 37, etc. §19. Other uses, a) particularly o{a{re,fac, etc.: age explice- mus, P. 10, 168; die age, H. 108; (Hor. O. 1,32,4; 2, 11, 22) fare age, A. 129 (cf. Aen. 6, 389); age, adure, seca, divide, P. 3, 91 ; cf. surge age, Aen. 10, 241 ; fac figura signet, C.6, 132, a colloqui- alism, cf. fac memineris, Claud. Mam. 205, 19; but fac ut, P. 10, 4; 518; 655; etc. The old imperative form cedo occurs; ipsa mater adsit cedo, P. 10, 686 ; and in Hoc iam cedo, P. 7, 83. Cf. §93- b) Imperative in Prohibitions: two mstanccs : ne tollito. Ps. 613; ne trcpidate, I's. 624; this is a vulgarism, Riemann, Et. p. 259 (Servius ad Aen. 6, 544 considers such usages archaic). 14 Cf. Ten Phorm. 803; Hon C. i, 28, 23. Elsewhere is used : nolite quaerere, P. 10, 19; cf. Priap. 44, i ; cave velis, P. 10, 136' (cf. Hon S. 2, 3, 38 ; 2, 5, 75 ; Petron. S. §58) but cave fingere, S. i, 497 ; cf. cave deprimere, Commod. 2, 22, 8 ; vita orare, P. 10, 423. The above are the only prohibitive phrases in Prudentius, ne with pres. or perf. subj. not occurring. 3. Infinitive. §20. Historical Infinitive. Herejuvencus has but 2 examples and each begins with ecce; I have noticed 6 sentences, 13 verbs, in Prud.: Perfidus ille caput curvare, lambere, advolvi, incerare, A. 455 ; spernere sucina, flare rosas, P. 3, 21 ; Trepidare carnifex, P. 10, 861; lorea stridere, virgarum concrepitare fragor, P. 11, 56; ungula altos pandere secessus et lacerare iecur, P. 11, 58; ipse modesta loqui, spem quaerere, P. 13, 31. This construction occurs 7 times in Paulinus Petricordiae, and 3 times in CI. Man Victor in the Alethia ; according to Trump'' it occurs frequently in Claudi- anus. §21. Infinitive as Substantive: Nasci suum, H. 173; id ipsum gignere, A. 260; cf. hoc ipsum venire, Faust. Rei. 47, 19; hoc esse, CI. Man Vict, i, 45 ; simplex ut esset credere, Apn 32 (?); sit difficilis via noscere, A. 264 ; gloria est calcare et sistere, P. 7, 59 ; genus mortis donare, P. i, 27, and cf. Ps. 159; cedo hoc pro te mori, P. 7, 85 ; Christum hausi credere, P. 10, 685 ; habet munus divinitas reddere, P. 10, 953; hoc sequimur, adpellare Patrem, A. 240; cf. also S. I, 22; 311; P. 5, 386, and P. 10, 59. Cf. spes, suberat gaudera, CI. Man Vict., Aleth. 2, 206. Note. For the infinitive after necesse est, etc., see §98 ; after adjs,, §60 note. §22. The Infinitive in exclamations does not occur in Juvencus according to Hatfield, but it occurs in Prudentius as follows : ingenuas naturae occumbere leges, ceptivas trahi dotes ! H. 304 ; Tene potuisse recalescere ! Ps. 58 ; vos non potesse dis- sipare! P. 10, 803; cf. also, Quid verbum posse videri ? A. 44. s) Voice. §23. Personal Passive from Intransitives. But two cases have been cited in Juv., and no clear cases have been found in Prudentius. »"Plautus and Terence present 33 instances of cave with perfect, 18 with the present." Elmer, Am. Journ. Phil. XV (1894), p. 142. *F. Trump, Observ. ad Genus Dicendi Claudiani, p. 37. 15 §24- Active for Passive. Here, as above, but two have been cited in Juvencus, and none found in Prudentius. §25. Juror as Deponent Verb. A possible case occurs in S. 2, 697: Geticus iunitus has arces aequare, though Dressel's punctuation is against it. It occurred in Plant. Amph. 437 ; As. 23 ; also in Juvencus, 3, 60. §26. Deponent Participle with Middle Signification. Coiiversus seems to be the only verb thus used, and thus used but twice: nee sol potis est conversus iter revocare, S. i, 333; also P. 2, 183; Hieronymus on the other hand very frequently employs deponent participles in a passive sense (Goelzer, St. Jer. p. 351), Vers7is seems to be used thus in D. 96. Note : accingere with middle signification occurs in P. 10, 421 ; a not infrequent usage of Comedy.' c) Attribute. §27. Substantive as Attribute. Frequent: sermo Christe et Spiritus, C. 6, 3 ; Christe regimen, C. 8, i ; puer redemptor pro- tulit, C. 9, 21; Moyses receptor, C. 12, 144; quern sacerdotem adsumpsit, C. 12, 154; Christus ultor, A. 409; draco victor, Ditt. 4; doniini Christi, H. 621 ; fratrum ducum, S. 2, 17; fama proditrix, P. i, 11 ; cygnus stuprator, P. 10, 221 ; ab urbe Roma, P. 10, 408 ; cf. also C. 12, 43 ; A. 609, 893 ; H. 577, 622 ; Pspr. 2, 345, 805; P. 2, 30, 180, 465 ; 4, 18, 37 ; 10, 615, 635, 835 ; etc. Not infrequently joined asyndetically : quisque gerat, miles, togatus navita, opifex, arator, institor, C. 2, 38 ; cf also C. 12, 197 ; H. 395 ; P. 6, 148 ; 10, 970 ; 14, 106. §28. Attributive use of Adverb. It is believed that no cases of this occur in Prudentius; such a usage occurs 8 times in Lucifer Cal., cf also Paul. Pell. 24 and 576; also Cyprian, De Zelo, 18. d) Apposition. §29. Paratactic Apposition. A case similar to that found in Juvencus of pocula vinum, 4, 658, is believed not to occur in Prudentius. §30. Apposition to Sentence: quocunque modo sit factus, id unus scit, A. 893 ; populare quiddam credidit frcquentia ut autumnent, P. 10, 82. §31. Apposition to Pronoun unexpressed: victor ad- scendit, C. 9, 104; rex serenus aspice, C. 7, 4 ; martyr cerno, P. 1 1 , 34 ; ut comes sequatur, P. 13, 48 ; si martyr insilias, Ps. 775. ' Iloltze, Syntaxis pris. script. Lit. 2, p. 20. i6 e) Cases. 1. Nominative. §32, Nominative with proh in Exclamations : Pro Jupiter, P. 10, 396; cf. Ter. Andr. 732, etc.; prohpudor, Ps. 353; P. 5, 129; in Oros. 337, 14 ; pro caeca libido, H. 628 ; pro dolor, H. 304 ; cf. pro dolor in Claud, in Ruf. i, 55 ; 2, 214 ; in Sedul. 2, 9 ; in Paul. Petr. 3, 377 ; in Oros. 223, 19 ; pro labor, Claud. Bell. Gild. I, 94. Cf. also §40. 2. Accusative. §33. After Verbs of Motion : domum vexit, S. 2, 35 1 ; domum referre, P. 6, 133; domum reverter, P. 9, 106; 12, 65; all in conformity with the classical usage. But it may be noticed that Hier. frequently uses ad with names of towns : in patriam' scandere occurs in C. 5, 112; remeasse ad superos, C. 3, 200. Usque is used in, usque pervenitis rivulum, P. 10, 160. (penetrare chaos, S. 2, 903 ; penetrare gremium, S. i, 78 ; 10 occurrences of penetrare with ace. have been noticed ; Juvencus used the same construction 8 times (Marold. p. 115).

Without a preposition: none. For the abl. to express duration of time cf. §71, note ; the ablative seems to be his fiivorite case, rather than the ace. §36. Cognate Accusative : (This has been regarded as an archaism, ct. Kiihnast, Liv.

Lact. de Ira Dei, 21,3; vernula- rum divites, Pspr. 56; but abl. in P. 2, 108 (Horace uses abl.); vacuus cruoris, P. 4, 86. Hitherto observed only in Sail., Hor., Ov., and Tac. (Draeger, Hist. Synt.' §206), but cf. also Claud. Mam. Grat. act. ad Jul. 14; plena angelorum, P. 4, 5; plenum virtutis, Ps.769; but plenus Deo, Pspr. 26; invidus unitatis, Hpr. 48; but dat. in Hor.

Ace. not used after these verbs. §52. For the Genitive with Verbs of Plenty and Want see §68. a) Other Genitives. i) Genitive with Comparatives. This occurs independently of translations in unusually large numbers in African latinity.^ It occurs in Symmachus, Ep. 11, 52, and Isid. Or. 17, 7, 52. There are a few phrases in Prudentius which may be noticed under this heading: (i) Magnarum urbium maior, C. 12, 77; (2) fortissi- morum fortior, P. 5, 294; (3) quod malorum est taetrius omnium, P. 14, no; (4) magnus qui discipulorum, Ps. 530. Of these (3) is very similar to Apul. dogm. Plat, i, 9, omnium gignentium seniorem, though it may be explained as Ennius, Frag. 41, melior mulierum, in which, as Sittl remarks, the comparative stands in place of a superlative (cf. p. 114). With No. (i) cf. Sid. ApoU. Carm. 11, 52, magnorum maior avorum ; (4) is equal to Aen. 4, 576, and Iliad 18, 205, and elsewhere, where the positive stands for a superlative; cf. Claud. Mam. 19, 4; 177, i ; Paul. Pell. 308, 314. Positive for comparative, Claud. Mam. 205, 21. The comp. is used 18 times in Paul. Petr. for the pos. or superl., cf. Commod. A. 659 ; 787. Comp. for pos. very frequent in Faust. Rei., 16 times in loh. Cass.; comp. for superl., omnium potior, Claud. Mam. 205, i; Sedul. 185, 17; 240,4; 5 times in Vict. Vit. ; 5 times in loh. Cassianus; 21 times in Eugippius; Faust. Rei. 450, 17. Superl. is used for comp., Sedul. 12, i. Accord- ingly we would regard all of the above four passages, not as 1 The " Genitiv des Wertes," cf. Wolfflin, Archiv IX (1894), p. loi et seq., Der Genitiv des Wertes und der Ablativ des Preises. "Cf. Sittl, lok. Versch. d. lat. Spr., p. 114. 21 examples of genitives following comparatives, etc., but of positives and comparatives used for superlatives.' Note I. A phenomenon somewhat similar to the above appears in the Latin translation of the Book Sirach, in which Greek comparatives are translated by Latin positives, Gk. superl. by Lat. pos., etc. (Thielmann, Archiv, 8 (1893), pp. 246, 515). Note 2. a or ab with ablative after comparatives, a construc- tion appearing in Ambrose, Hieronymus and others, does not occur in Prudentius. 2) Genitive with verbs of feeliiig occurs in : miserando inopum, Ps. 580; but ace. Ps. I ; P. 2, 412. paenitens Cachinni, Pspr. 49 ; Roma pudet exacti temporis, S. i, 512; miserescito huius, Spr. I, 84. 3) Frugi, a form which Riemann^ regards genetically as a genitive, and which Delbriick' and Lindsay* are inclined to regard rather as a dative,* occurs twice in Prudentius and seems to have in one passage the force of an adverb : sed nee magno opus est frugi viventibus, S. 2, 1015, where it =:abstinenter, and in the other it may be translated as a noun : quam memorant frugi, parce cui vivere cordi est, Ps. 554. 4. Dative. §53. With Intransitives : haerere, H. 851 ; S. i, 173; P. 4, 41; inperare.A. 140; inperitare, C. 3, 162; S. 1,368; cedere, S. i, 633; suadere, H.715; parcere, H.937 ; Ps. 392; placere, Ps. 356 ; S. I, 576 ; credere, A. 878 ; servire, H. 508, 680; iubere, A. 658 ; also used with ace. and infin., or with ut, cf. §99. (Here may be noted, sibi peccans, H. 742, cf. Deut. i, 41 ; Reg. 2, 12, 13.) Note. Comitari, which has the dative twice in Juv. and ace. once, has only the ace. in Prud., C. 10, 44 ; H. 779 ; Ps. 802 ; the Ver- gilian usage, G. i, 346; A. 6, 112, etc. §54. After Verbs compounded with Prepositions. 2^ Intransitives : adesse, adsuescere, advolare (Aen. 10, 510), congredi (P. 10, 606), conpetere, constare, contingere, deesse, ' Wolfflin, Archiv, 7 (1892), p, 118, cites Nos. (2) and (3), explaining them as cither genitives of comparison or examples of comparatives used for superlatives. *Kiemann, Kevue de Phil., 1890, p. 66. 'DelbrUck, Vergl. Gram. (1893), p. 409. * Lindsay, Latin Lang. (1894), p. 407. 'WuKHin, Archiv, IX (1894), p. 105, after frugi places "(Genitiv or Uativ ?)." K ii i V 22 incumbere, inesse, inscribere (with in and abl. in Cic. Cat. i, 13,32), insistere, instare, intervenire, obludere (H. 6, first by Prudentius), obtemperare, obsequi, obsistere, obstare, praecellere, praeludere, praesidere, resistere, restare, subesse, subire, subiacere, succedere, succumbere, succurrere, sufficere, superesse, superstare. Note. Incubare foil, by ace. in Juv. has dat. in H. 59; for praestare foil, by ace. cf. §34. b) Transitive Verbs, which may also have a direct object in the accusative : abdere, addere, addicere, adsignare, circumdare, cir- cumferre, conferre, coniungere, eonponere, conserere, indere, in- dulgere (H. 799 ; Juv. has the dat. simply ; cf. Caes. B. G. 7, 40), inferre, infundere, interfundere (S. 2, 380; I have found no parallel passage), inmiscere, inpertire, inponere, instituere, obicere, obiectare, obtendere, offerre, praeseribere, subdere, subicere, sub- iungere, submittere, suspendere (inducere has the ace., cf. H. 50). §55. Nomen est. I have noted but one occurrence of this expression: Eumorphio nomen fuit, P. 5, 466 (Eumorphio is regarded as a nom. by the author of the Delphin Ed., but De Vit in his Onomasticon gives Eumorphius as the nom.), more frequent in Juv. The dat. is used in Firm. Mat. 6, i ; cui lunoni fuit nomen, and is the usual construction with Gregory of Tours, cf. Bonnet, p. 544. (Cognomento Heresis occurs in Ps. 710.) §56. Dative of Reference (commodi et incommodi). These are common and may be divided into: (a) Dativus energicus\- homini, S. 2, 207 ; quibus, Ps. 56, etc., frequent. b) Commodi: sibi, H. 172; Ps. 529, 720; S. i, 299; 2, 348, 566; ipsi, H.547 ; spiritibus, H. 841 ; Christo, S. 2, 620; tibi.S. i, 265, 497; 2, 1 120; cui, S. I, 380; 2, 764 ; quibus, Ps. 56. c) Eihicus: mihi, S. 2, 445, 659; C. 3, 71 ; A. 1046; en tibi, A. 503; H, 7-69; Ps. 118; P. II, 69; ecce tibi, A. 340; etc. (cf. ecce tibi, Claud. Mam. 74, 7; 145, 6). Note. With present participles : it is believed none occur in Prud.; Hatfield cites 4 for Juv., and it may be noted that 2 of these, surgenti, i, 355, revertenti, 2, 76, contravene the statement of Landgraf,at bottom of page 53 of same article, who says that this construction does not occur at all in poetty after the Augustan Age.^ ' Landgraf, Archiv, 8 (1893), p. 40. "Landgraf: " Seltener ist er bei den Augusteischen Dichtern, und gar nicht findet er sich bei den Dichtern der folgenden Zeit. Vgl. Note 549 to Reisig's Vorles. und Wolfflin, Act. Erlang, II. 140." 23 Dative after verbs of deprivation and separation : palmam vic- toribus aufert, S. 2, 555; aliquid sibi detrahit, A. 277 (P. 6, 75; S. 2, 553); cui nulla recedi pars potest, S. 2, 238 ; vincula demam gregibus, S. 2, 733 ; palmam sibi praeripi, P. 7. 52 ; noteworthy is, ovem gret2;i perditam sano, C. 8, 33. §57. Final Dative used absolutely is rare : venere auxilio, S. 2, 536; indicio est annona, S. 2, 953; dis Manibus marmora lego, S. I, 403; quae sunt odori, quaeque vernant esui, P. 10, 335; praesidio Christus adsit, Ps. 910; lapis nostro fixus offensaculo est, Apr. 33; locus Emerita est tumulo, P. 3, 186. With another dative: prosilit auxilio sociis, Ps. 574 ; sit lapidatio fraudi hosti- bus, Ditt. 179; neaerae non fuit ludibrio, P. 10, 240; numen adserentibus nihil pavori est, P. 10, 390. Note. For the Final Dative after gerundive, see Gerundives, §83. §58. Dative after Passive Verbs: a) After the gerundive invariably: Christo regendos, S. i, 565; restituendus mihimet, S. 2, 265 ; avibus edendam, S. 2, 1049 ; bibendus tibi, P. 10, 736 ; cf. C. 3, 84; P. 10, 417; S. 2, 170; P. 5. 88- b) After forms of the passive containing the perfect participle : dictus parenti, Pspr. 4; comitata viro, Ps. 163; angelico comitata choro, P. 3, 48; repulsa Deo, Ps. 900; Deo disposita, S. i, 287; tibi parata, S. 2, 65 ; Christo perempta vero, C. 9, "2 ; imago nulli visa, A. 7 ; vim cunctis petitam, P. 14, 103. c) After other passive forms, rare: nobis colitur, P. 10, 952; fit deus Indis, S. i, 122 ; tibi soli calcentur, P. 5, 105- §59. Final Locative after Verbs of Motion. This cate- gory has been denied for the Latin by Delbriick (Vergl. Synt. p. 290), who cannot regard the examples commonly adduced as " finale Lokale." Prudentius has used the following : caelo revo- landum (est), H. 815 ; caelo refusus subvolabit spiritus, P. 10, 533 ; caelo reportans gloriam, C. 9, 105 ; venisse terris nuntiat Deum, C. 12, 7; tenebris mergitur, P. 10, 473; hominem portaret Patri, C. 1 1 , 48 ; occisus redeat superis, A. 1059 ; qui sit dampnandus averno, H 128 (and cf.

Three usages here may be noted : (a) the abl. of gerund : a characteristic usage of Late Latin is the frequent employment of the ablative of the gerund with a modal force. Often, particularly in Church Latin, it has the force of a present participle agreeing with the subject. Petschenig cites 13 examples of its use in this way in Paul. Petr., and Hatfield com- ments upon the frequency of its use in Juvencus. In Prudentius, however, its use is restricted : quis hauriendo velit, C. 4, 88 ; flendo pressit, C. 7, 42 ; luctando, H. 147 ; adsciscendo, S. 2, 364 ; vivendo, S. 2, 660; cf. Priscill. 88, 9; cf. also §82. (b; With an attribute, common : sese gradu citato proripit, P. 5, 210; praepete cursu venantem, H. 293; gressibus innocuis spatiantur, H. 813; auribus intentis, Ps. 746. (c) Without an attribute: iure, A. 515 ; lege, Hpr. 12; fraude, H. 146; ordine, H. 914. §62. Ablative of Respect: fronte severus, Ps. 165; ore severa, modesta gradu, P. 3, 23 ; fronte serenus, C. 3, 8 ; fronte vietam, S. 2, 81 ; pulcerrimus ore, H. 167; moUissima tactu, H. 292; casside terribilis, H. 410; vultu terribilem, H. 947; oculis vaga, Ps. 312 (delibuta comas, in same line); discordfs linguis, S. 2, 586 ; lingua nequior, Apr. (2) 22 ; tempore senior, numine maior, Apr. (i) 4 ; arte potens, S, 2, 645 ; virtute potens, S. 2, 1 131 ; Germine nobilis mortis et indole nobilior, P. 3, I. §63. Ablative of Price, rare : vendat se spurcis complexibus, H. 634 ; passeribus venalibus asse, Ps, 620 ; merce doloris emi, P. 13,43; hoc milibus emptum, D. 19; campus mercede venditus, D. 153. Cf. also §49. §64. Ablative after Comparatives : sole micantior, C. 5, 44 ; antiquius caelo, C. 12,40; licito iactantius, H. 170; plus solito, P. 12, I ; patre deterior, S. i, 59; quo disertior, S. 2, pr. 56; nive candidius, P. 13, 11 ; iusto aniplius, P. 2, 58; pcccante taetrius, P. 2, 285 ; quo pretiosius, P. 7, 84 ; purius mysterio, C. 7, 6. Note. All of the above are in positive sentences, except the last 3, in each of which nil occurs. 26 §65. Ablative of Degree of Difference : tanto laetior, P. 5, 125; paullo infecundior, S. 2, 955; quanto interius, P. 9, 63. §66. Ablative of Quality, rare : plenis viribus unum, H. 22 ; propriis genitum viribus, H. 171 ; flore perenni virginitas, H. 956 ; sit stabili fide, S. 2, pr. 38 ; leiunia albo vultu, Ps. 244 ; ore facundo Cypriane, P. 4, 18; est ulcerosis artubus, P. 2, 153. §67. Ablative of Means. Prudentius has an interesting example in gradimur fide, S, 2. 907, where the Vulgate has per fidem ambulamus (Ad. Cor. 1,7); on the other hand, per with ace. is used frequently by Sedulius instead of abl. (Agent without ab: fratre caesus inpio, P. 5, 171 ; Juv. also) ; ablative of means with ab : numen mitigans ab inguine, P. 10, 1067; fames parto fit maior ab auro, H. 257 ; so also Juvencus, i, 230; Commod. 65, 8. Fruor, frungor, potior, utor and vescor, together with opus est, are followed by the abl., H. 782 ; 77 ; S. 2, 629 ; P. 10, 105 ; C. 5, 107 ; S. 2, 1015 ; contentus with abl. : con- tenta decore, H. 264 ; cf also A. 184 ; S. 2, 1128 ; H. 798. §68. Ablative after Verbs of Plenty and Want : Com- plere has the abl. 3 times (C. 4, 36, P. 2, 395, 11, 245), the genitive not at all ; mplere has the abl. 20 times (A. 159, 645 ; P. 5, 326 ; S. 2, 944 ; P. 13, 27, etc.), and genitive not at all ; cum is once used : gulam frustis cum inplet, Ps. 424; carere with, the abl. 12 times (C. 3, 140; A. 267, 671, 894, etc.) ; egere, the abl. : A. 285 ; S. 2, 232 ; P. 2, 80; the genitive is not used, though Juv. uses twice, cf Verg. A. 9, 87; II, 27; 343; according to Riemann, p. 269, the genitive with egere belongs to the sermo fa miliar is ; redundare with abl., A. 717; abundare, Epil. 4; eluvie adjiuere, P. 11, 46; multo circumfluis auro, S. i, 418; nudare, Ps. 440; orbare, H. 451 ; spoliare, P. 9, 43 ; vacare, H. 781 ; P. 5, 126 ; soY\i\s frauden- tur sumptibus, S. 2, 913; me vel dente vel ungue fraudatum, A. 1068, (but cf quidquam plenis fraudat ab exequiis, P. 11, 146). Note. Plenus occurs with the abl.: plenus hoste, P. i, 100; cf. plenus spiritu sancto, Act. Apostol. 6, 3 ; plenam Deo, C. 7, 60 ; P. 2, 542; A. 790; Pspr. 26, (Horace prefers the gen. with plenus). Egenus has the gen.: S. i, 81 ; 377; 2, 916; A. 423; Ps. 819. Vacims: vacuamque a crimine, A. 899; the usage of Cic, Caes., and Livy. On the other hand Macrob., S. i, i, 2, uses vacuus with the genitive of the gerund (cf also §47). Sine seems to be used in place of ab in C. 10, 34: vacuum sine mente. Cassus with abl.: lumine cassis, A. 125; (probably from Verg. Aen. 2, 85, or Stat. Theb. 2, 15); indigens with abl. : indigensque V victu, C. 4, 54 ; (Cicero uses the gen., cf. Schmalz', lOo). Abun- dans with abl. : abundans luce, S. 2, 887 ; munere abundans, H. 708, variaque abundans caede, P. 10, 1053. Hier. also uses the abl., but Claud, uses the gen. ; cf. IV Cons. Hon. 113. §69. Ablative of Place Where. Such ablatives are common and appear in lour forms : A. With an Attribute, (a) with a preposition, (b) without a prep. B.

(Here may be noted : gaudens haerede, Pspr. 49, and fretus amore, H. 495.) Argis, Carris, Delphis (Cretae) occur. It will be noticed that the following combinations occur: tristi in arce, celsa arce, in arce; vacuo in orbe, and in orbe, etc., and that for the most part the prepositions are used or omitted indif- ferently. §70.

I and II, 3671 lines, 89 times ; 56 times with the perfect participle, 33 times with the pres, act. participle, the participles of the deponent verbs not occurring in this con- struction. In the Cathemerinon, however, the perfect part, out- numbers the present, as 32 to 6, and one deponent occurs (C. 12, 169). §73. Other Ablative Constructions. Digitus takes the abl., Hpr. 30; 579; S. 2, 113, 255, 591, 1130; P. 1,25; tenendis ossibus, P. i, 5; indignus also: H. 936; S. 2, 118. Juvencus also uses the abl., Hieronymus the gen., dignum tantae feminae, Ep. 77, 8.

Wolfflin, Rhein. Mus. 37, 98). It is very frequent in Salvianus, occurs 26 times in Faustus Rei., and 15 times in CI. Mam. It occurs 3 times in Prud. : nil absque Deo factum, H. 182 ; absque aliena, A. 43; absque fraude, P. 10, 998 ; cf. also Vict. Vit. 29, 2; 87, 25. The ablatives causa and gratia as quasi-prepositions with the genitive do not occur. f ) Participles, Gerund, Gerundive and Supine. I. Participles. §74. Statistical Investigation. The participle is an impor- tant element of style, contributing to condensation of statement, ' Cf. Kublcr, Archiv, 8 (1892), p. 178 : " bcsonders wichtig fUr Lrkenntnis afrikanischcn .Spracligcbrauches." 30 rapidity in narration, and playing an important part in periodic structure. To ascertain what use was made of it by Prudentius and to compare him in this respect with Juvencus and Priscillian/ predecessors of the same century and probably of the same country, an investigation was made of the first 500 lines of the Psychomachia, omitting the first 20 lines of introduc- tion, as that poem was less argumentative and contained more narrative than the other hexametrical poems. Complemen- tary infinitives and infinitives after verba seniiendi et declar- andi were counted as parts of one expression, as : audet spargere, videbat eos fugere. Participial nouns and participial adjectives, as factum, perditus, and ardens, were not reckoned as participles. In these 500 lines there are 495 verb forms to 196 participles (72^ : 28^), curiously enough, the exact proportion in Juvencus, though the distribution is different: perfect passive participles 112 to Juvencus' 98; present active participles 74, here again agreeing with Juvencus ; gerundive passive participles i to Juven- cus' II ; future active participles 9 to Juvencus' 3 ; there should also be noted 2 cases of the ablative of the gerund (lines 84 and 132) which is equivalent to the present participle (§61). If, however, the participial adjectives be included, there are 128 perf. part, to 84 pres. part., making in all 222 participles instead of 196, or 31^ to Juvencus' 28^. But some of the lyric poems, especially those in praise of the martyrs, often contain extended passages of narrative, and in these the participles appear in greater numbers, producing rapidity in narrative, one of the features of Prudentius' style in which he appears at his best ; P. Ill and VI may be especially cited. In P. IV, 7-11, there are 6 participles to one verb. The present participle, to bring out the details of the picture, may be noted in P. 10, 901, also in 902, and in P. 6, 58 ; also in P. I, 70, where it has the force of a clause with dum ; others might be cited. Notice also the effect of the perfect participle in Ps. 34, 61, 125, 184, 280, 282 in contributing to condensation. §75- Present Participle jo ned to Object after Verbs of Perceiving. CFor which Schmalz' only cites Calp. Piso, Cic, Sail., Nepos, Vitruv., Liv. and Horace); Hatfield cites a number of examples in Juv.

In general and in detail : Prudentius uses the gerund construction about as often as the gerundive, about 90 of the former being used to 87 of the latter. With the gerund he uses but I preposition, ad; with the gerundive, 5, ad, de, e, in, and pro. He uses the gerund about as often relatively as Juv., using it once in 123 lines to Juv. once in 128 lines. The genitive is used most often, 49 times, the abl. 36 times, ace. 3 times, and dat. 2 times, appearing in the following forms : Genitive, (a) after nouns, as : mos cdendi, C. 7, 147 ; amor habendi, Ps. 478 ; cf. S. 2, 762, 1005, etc.; a noun depending upon the gen., a very rare usage, occurs: luxus vorandi carnis, P. 10, 'Landgraf, Archiv, 9 (1894), p. 48. 2>^ 514 ;' (b) after adjectives : fandi nescii, C. 2, 46 ; expertes furandi, S. I, 86; indocilis fandi, S. i, 647; tacendi intemperans, P. 2, 253 ; secandi doctus, P. 10, 886 ; (none of these adjectives exc. doctus are mentioned by Draeger, §597} ; cf. also P. 10, 210; C. 7, 161, etc. Note: Gen. = purpose : paenitendi datur diecula, C. 7, 96.^ Dative. But 2 cases occur: P. 5, 18, verba mollia suadendo effuderat ; and A. 15, pietas spernendo libelli tibi est. Accusative : ad resurgendum, P. 10, 640; ad sacrandum, P. 10, 912; ad secandum, P. 10, 1064. It is to be noted that he does not employ the archaic construction of an object after the gerund. Ablative. Frequently has a modal force (cf. §61), though it is often difficult to determine whether it has a modal force or is used to express means or cause : H. 147 ; C. 2, 50 ; 3, 91 ; A. 166 ; Ps. 84; S. 2, 660; P. 9,72; II, 198, etc. Worthy of note : libera miserando inopum, Ps. 580. 3. Gerundive.' §83. Gerundive denoting End after Active Verbs : dedit sequendam lineam, C. 7, 50; also P. 4, 141 ; 5, 388 ; 12, 56; D. 172 ; se praestitit inspicendum, A. 24; P. 10, 601 ; offerens costas execandas, P. 10, 73 ; also C. 4, 45 ; Hpr. 4 ; S. i , 565 ; 2,1118; P. 5, 364; 6, 50; 10, 44, 954; II, 198; D. 58, 154. §84. Gerundive with ad, denoting Purpose: opera ad divina conrumpenda, H. 179; ad ludibria oppugnanda, Ps. 16; ad haec colenda, P. 10, 246 ; efficacior ad devorandas offas, P. 10, 808 (but seminandis efficax erroribus, P. 10, 271) ; ad decus petendum, P- 13. 73- §85. Gerundive has the force of an Attribute Adjec- tive: fruenda, C. 3, 84; tremendas, D. 6, 56; tuenda, C. 6, 76; horrendus, H. 39; Ps. 291; P. 4, 103: 5, 247; 11, 54. Other forms : C. 7, 37 ; 45 ; 83 ; 133 ; 9, 75 ; 85 ; Apr. 6, 328 ; 453 ; Ps. 27; H. 260; 735; S. I, 494; 2, 909; P. 3, 71. ' For other examples and discussion in general cf. Dosson, De Participii Gerundivi vi et usu, Paris (1887), p. 86. ^ Cf. adsentandi in Ter. Ad. 270 and Incert. Auct. ad Her. i, 16, 29 ; 2, 30, 48 (Marx). ^ For general treatment cf. Dosson, as above. Also Weisweiler, Das lat. part. fut. pass., Paderborn (1890). Cf. also Archiv, 9 (1894), 316 and 317. -1 1 §86. Copula omitted with Gerundive: dicendum niihi, Pr. 31 ; vis admiscenda, A. 17 ; cjuod vivendum, A. 71 ; revolandum, H.815; idolium fugandum, S. 1,610; vincenda voluptas, S. 2, 146; metuenda potestas, S. 2, 171 ; silendi, P. 4, 181 ; bibendus, P. 10, 736; but expressed: qui sit dampnandus, H. 128; restituendus erat, S. 2, 265 ; subnotanda est, P. 2, 132; mors luenda est, P. 5, 52 ; mors habenda est, P. 5, 357. The following case-usages may be noted here: Genitive: indocilis occurs also with gerundive: tractandae indocilem ratis, Spr. 2, 60 (this adjective is not mentioned by Draeger) ; diruendae civitatis incolis, C. 7, 83 ; consultor habendae relligionis, A. 453 ; cf. H. 260, 735, etc. Dative: chiefly to express purpose or end, and occurs, a) with nouns, b) adjectives, c) verbs: a) his agendis plectrum, P. 10, 935 ; b) artibus aptuni noscendis, S. 2, 329 ; also P. 10, 438 ; dignus tenendis ossibus, P. 1,5 ; (or abl.?), (ifdat.,not mentioned by Draeger) ; neither capax (C. 9, 66) nor efficax (P. 10, 271) is mentioned by Draeger, §598. c) Descendit servando homini, A. 156 ; utere sorte blasphemis tenendis, A. 773 ; cf. also Spr. i, 67 ; P. II, 151; etc. See §57. Ablative, with de : S. 2, 407 ; P. 10, 87 ; with e : Ps. 259 ; with in : S. i, 458 ; 2, 820 ; pro : Ps. 9 ; S. 2, 919 ; cf. dignus above. 4. Supine. §87. Occurrences of Supine. In -um : probably only ; salutatum, P. 11, 189, In -u : dira relatu, A. i; visu horridus, P. 10, 1043; niiserabile visu, P. 9, 13; inculta visu, P. 2, 180; quod dictu scelus est, A. 822. g) Prepositions. §88. Noteworthy Constructions. a) post-position: pecudes inter, S. i, So; Floras inter, S. i, 266. This, while occurring frequently among poets, is used with characteristic frequency by Priidentius, who uses it at least 113 times; cf, besides the above, C. 3, 1 1 ; 7, 28 ; A. 209, 262, etc. b) Separation of prep, by conjunction : trans et Pyrenas, P. 2, 540. (It is sometimes at quite a distance from its object, as in H. 196, 473; A. 108, 145, 714, etc.) c) Adusqne occurs in A. 983; H. 950 ; Ps. 634 ; S. 1,112; P. 10, 364, 560, 763; II, 1^0 \ usque ad also occurs, in local sense, A. 261, 1007; P. i, no; in tem- poral sense, C. i, 33; S. 2, 280; in genealogical series, Ps. 384; 34 indicating measure, S. i, 270; C. 4, 30.' Usque ad occurs 11 times in Priscillian, and is very common in Macrobius. 2. Interrogative Sentences. §89. Interrogative Particle lacking: quaeritis Christicolum genus? P. 3, 72; tu porro solus obteras Caesarem ? P. 5, 108; also A. 631, 961, 962 ; H. 320, 481, 483, 673 ; Ps. 623, 370; S. i, 334. 590; P- 2, 316, 320; 10, 410, 445, 946; II, 4, 256. The above questions are all rhetorical questions. §90. Si as Interrogative Particle. This is common in eccl. Latin, and two cases have been found in Juvencus, but none in Prud. It was used with a partly conditional, partly interrog. force in PI. and Ter.,'' but Prud. seems to have used it only with a cond. force, and never as an interrog. particle, either in simple or complex sentences. Ind. questions it may be noted are, for the most part, in the subj.: I have noted but one exception : Cernis ut una via est errans? S. 2, 896. This is another mark of his good latinity.^ §91. Other Interrogative Particles: 7zo?i=z nonne in P. ID, 296; A. 355, 421, 631 ; P. 3, 112 ; so also in Commodianus, 2, 33, 10; 32, 7 ; I, 14, 6 ; 7ie = nonne, P. 10, 376, as in archaic Latin ; of. Com. 2, 32, 2 ; and Lucifer Cal. 153, i ; 201, 4 (Hartel Ed.) ; numne : S. 1,322; 2, 940; H. 871. (Ritschl. Opusc. 2, 248, denies the Latinity of this form, so also Hand. Turs. 4, 79, but Ribbeck argues for it, Lat. Part. p. 13, and reads it, Afran. fr. 29.) Prudentius' fondness for questions appears in a number of places, but see especially H. 462-490, seven in succession, Anne (which gives some support to numne) in a direct question, and before a consonant, S. i, 400 ; in an indirect question, P. 10, 963; cf. also Claud. 26, 524; loh. Cassianus, 300, 14 ; qtii (=quomodo), S. 2, 523: defendere Idam qui hortis potuit? B. Coordinate Sentences. §92. Some noticeable cases. a) A Series of Imperatives. These occur both with and with- out connectives: i, ferrum rape, perfunde cunas, C. 12, 99; con- scende rogum, decumbe, P. 2, 354 : discede, Jupiter, relinque, P. 2, 453, 465 ; II, 30 ; A. 594 ; also : conmitte formas et confer, P. ' See further uses, Thielmann, Archiv, 6, 469. -Becker, Stud. Stud, i, 195. ^Koffmane, Kirch, lat., p. 130. 35 2, 221 ; rape et conice, P. 1 1, 67 ; with 7m7tc : state nunc, hymnite, P. I, 118. (This Schmalz regards, Lat. Synt. §163, An., as the usage of Vergil, remarking that Vergil does not use et in these cases, but cf. Aen. 11, 119.) This is the usage of Hor. and Ov.; Prudentius also uses the connective : nunc suscipe gremioque concipe, C. 10, 125 ; and adesto nunc et percipe, P. 5, 545 (cf. Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 76). b) giic et for simple et : timorque et ira, P. 10, 962; corpus pastumque et corporis omnem, A. 722; mentisque et corporis actu, Ps. 767 ; aram foresque et ipsas solvere, P. 10, 50; cf. also: P. 2, 288, 369; 10, 224, 910, 962; (not in Verg. and Hor., Schmalz §178). factoque et nomine clarus, Paul. Petr. 3, 267. c) lie . . . neve occurs in S. i, 78. d) et=ised in P. 3, 2 ; 240; Vergil uses que for sed, A. 10, 34/t €. Subordinate Sentences. I. Subordination without Relative Pronouns or Particles. a) Paratactio Constructions. §93. Simple Subjunctive : fugiatis censeo. S. 2, 129, putetis, 131 ; censeo tollas, S. i, 425 ; absolvas precor, P. 7, 79 (reddas precor, Hor. O. i, 37) ; sit supplex precor, C. 8, 77 ; precor prae- cipe, C. ID, 165; colas memento, P. 12,66; moneo fugias, H. 703 ; deponas velim, S. i, 499 ; P. 2, 169 ; (common in letters of Cicero, cf. also Hor. O. 3, 16, 38, and S. i, 5, 53); dicas volo, S. 2, 393 ; P- 10, 880 ; opto noverit, P. 10, 441 ; vis dicam, S. 2, 583 : (but infin.: S. 2, 270; P. 11, 234); faxo teratur, Ps. 249, as fre- quently in Plautus ; reddas necesse est, C. 10, 139; A. 852 ; P. 10, 169 ; Quint, i, 2, 18 ; (also infin. P. 10, 89, 424) ; date demam, S. 2, 732 ; date perluamus, P. 4, 193 ; iubet sternerent, P. 5, 260: praecipit tollant, P. 10, 697. cf. §19. §94- Conditional Sentences without Particle : sit satis, sufficiat, C. 3, 181; caelum nitcscat laetius, gratetur, C. 11, 10; curramus regumque sequamur progeniem, invenies, A. 997 ; respice ad cellam, invenies, S, i, 573, §95. Paratactic Temporal and Causal Construction: temporal : vernal hcrbarum coma, turn laurus obumbrat, C. 8,45 ; emicat columba repens, martyris os visa relinquere, P. 3, 163; causal: Desine, Christus adest, A. 409; Desine grande loqui, 36 frangit Deus omne superbum, Ps. 285; also: C. 10, 119; 129; 134; P- 13. 99. b) Infinitive, and Aec. with Infln. §96. Final Infinitive. Ecclesiastical writers make free use of the infinitive to express purpose after verbs of motion. Dombart cites ID examples of it in Commodianus thus used, and 3 times with dare (cf. also Sulpic. Severus, Dial. 2, 6, 6 : venit audire). Prudentius does not use it so freely after verbs of motion, only these two occurring : spoliare viantem adgressus, H. 208 ; ire mandat milites raptare plebem, P. 10, 44. Exceptus admittere, A. 896 ; this is very rare ; the nearest parallel seems to be, natum tolerare labores, Ov. Met. 15, 121. It is most frequent with dare ; I have noticed 12 : dat credere, dat pudere, P. 13, 27 ; dat nosse, C. 6, 44; dedit transmittere, Ps. 678; also Ps. 644; C. 3, 192; S. 2, 427; P. 2, 336; A. 42, etc.; dat ferre, Cypr. Gall., Gen. 1453; duat vivere, Commod. i, 14, 7; dedisti posse, Paul. Pell. 569; dare with the infin. is used 10 times in Sedulius, in Cyprian 3 times, and in Ennodius 8 times ; cf. datur scire, Comm. ap. 136. Ut also is used: P. 2, 434; ne, 13, 67. §97. Objective Infinitive, after causative and auxiliary verbs : amare, ardere, audere, cavere (but cf. P. 10, 136), certare, cogere, conpellere, contendere, cupere, dedignari, desinere, dignari, dis- cere, exigere, extimescere, emerere (A. 1033) (Draeger says it occurs only 3 times and only in Ovid), gaudere, habere (freq. in Itala and Vulg. Roench. p. 447 ; n times in Cyprian), horrere (previously observed only Verg., Liv., and Ammian., says Draeg. §424; but cf. also Cic. Agr. 2, 37, loi and Lact. 7, 15, 11), insti- tuere, malle, meditari, meminisse (also, memor esse), merere, monere, nescire, niti, nolle, odisse, parare, pavere, pergere (P. 4, 147), poscere, prurire, quaerere, recusare, recipere (" allow," A. 517, not mentioned by Draeg.), sinere, spernere, studere, suadere, subigere, temptare (C. 4, 80, 90 ; 5, 72 ; Ps. 45 ; S. 2, 99, 385, 507, 696; P. 10, 877; neither Draeger nor Schmalz cites any usages of this after Quint.; I have noticed also the following in Juvenc. i, 113 ; 2, 476 ; 3, 222, 464 ; 4, 607) ; trepidare, velle, vetare. Note : prohibere is used as in class, period, always with the ace, with the act. infin., as in P. 6, 50; C. 3, 169; S. i, 620; 2, 463; and with the pass., as in S. 2, 11 25. §98. Simple Infinitive as Subject. This is very common and occurs in 3 forms: (a) when the verb is accompanied by a noun, 37 as quis furor est perdere, P. 3, 66 ; (b) when it is accompanied by an adjective, as facile est frenare, H. 524 ; and (c) with impersonal verbs, as licet, etc. (a) Tempus (est) cohibere, S. i, 656; Quae ratio est submittere, A. 642 ; cernere fas sit, A. 18, cf. also A. 260 ; S. I, 351 ; edere Patris est, Apr. 7 ; labi hominis, servare Dei est, H. 665; vivere cordi est, Ps. 555; necesse est pensare. H. 615; S. 2, 278; P. 2, 196; (but with subj. P. 10, 134, 210, 990, iioo, and generally cf above §93). (b) Serum est spernere, C. i, 10; satis sit dixisse, P. 10, 648 ; simplex esset credere, Apr. 32 ; fundere erat melius, H. 98. (c) Licitum est cernere, A. 112; taedet per- currere, H. 273 (Draeger §424, 9, b. says only in Ter. and Ov.) ; with licet, C. 3, 10; libet, C. 3, 59; piget, H. 376; sufficit, Ps. 458; iuvat, C. 3, 12 ; H. 420, 471 ; Ps. 459; P. 3, 137, etc.; with est, Apr. 5; A. 64; P. 11, 131 ; A. 121 ; H. 82. Noie. Infinitival clause as subject of a finite verb : dubium est animas de semine lacob exilium gentile pati, H. 453 ; quam pudet hoc illis persuasum (esse), S. i, 283; est perdere tanti vitae officium, H. 652 ; cf. also P. 10, 672. §99. Accusative with Infinitive in Indirect Discourse. The following verbs may be mentioned as followed by this con- struction : credere, dederat iudicium tendere se, P. 3, 17 ; docere, dubitare, ferre, flere, fidere, iubere (also foil, by dat. and inf , and ut with subj., cf. A. 636, 658, 1030, 1069 ; with simple infin., see P. 10, 40), meminisse, mente tenebo esse, H. 342 ; ostendere, petere, praedicare, praemonere, prohibere, ridere, suadere (also with ut: H. 718), D. 15. §100. Accusative with Infinitive used as Subject: fuit melius inperium tolerasse patres, H. 463; cuncta creata senescere necesse est, P. 10, 13. §101. Other Noticeable Points in use of Infinitive : a) Infinitive depends on a verb implied in a noun : indubitata fides, Dominum curare potentem, Ps. 621, b) Two infinitives: curvare nefas (esse) putantem, C. 4, 41; nosset servare malle, C. 7, 104; miratus (est) posse sustinere, C. 8, 192; Ps. 58; cernere erat splendescere frondes, A. 64; also P. II, 132; Ps. 395; S. 1,563; 2,651; P. I, 37. c) Subject, when a pronoun omitted: docuit (me) infectum loqui, Pr. 9; (me) stare iubens, Pr. 21; (eum) spectare manda- ram, S. 2, 260; addit (eos) loqui, P. 10, 458; cf. P. 14, 57. d) Wkh/acete in the sense of "to cause to": facit imbrem flere, C. 5, 24 ; P. 13, 45 ; A. 604, 902 ; S. 2, 221. This is chiefly 38 colloquial and late, and the usual sense of facere in Ambr., Hier, and St. Aug. (Thielmann, Archiv, 3, 194 ; but on p. 195 he cites but 2 examples of this usage from Prudentius), Cyprian Gall., Ex. 272 ; faciunt prorepere ranas ; Paul. Petr., Vit. Mart. 2, 76 ; fecisti evolvere linguas; Commod. Instr. i, 26, 37: defunctos vivere fecit; cf. also Ap. 117, 122, 619, 624, etc. Caec. Cyprian, Epist. 75, 10: facere se terram moveri ; loh. Cassianus, 27, 4: cunctos facit consurgere. This use of facere occurs 11 times in CI. Mar. Victor, cf. also Faust. Rei. 217, 6; Sedul. 3, 335 ; 4, 18 ; Claud. Mam. 134, 12 ; and very frequent in Salvianus. e) This periphrasis occurs : scio non futurum ut concremur, P. 10, 853. f) Infinitive in exclamations occurs in P. 10, 803: vos non potesse dissipare ! 2. Subordination by Means of Relative Pronouns and Particles. §102. A General Relative implying a Condition not common: a) quidquid : sufficit quidquid facias, C. 8, 69 ; quidquid geri- mus, spiritus texat, Ps. 767. b) quisque: quisque deum Christum vultdicere, dicat, A. 1060; also S. 2, 477; P. 5, 784; P. 10, 35; 214: sentiet quisque conse- crarit. §103. Relative Clauses of Characteristic Result : nil est dulcius quod iuvare possit, C. 4, 95 ; quae gens tam stolida quae praeponat, A. 196; possum exempla excerpere quae doceant, A. 313; dignus qui sit, A. 969; indignus qui sancta canam, A. 742; qifis erit qui reprehenderit, S. 2, 84; also, C. 4, 30; A. 192, 211 ; Ps. 516; S. I, 40, 309, 633; 2, 34; P. 5, 452; II, 62; 14, 73. Note I. Sunt qui with subj. in S. 2, 685 ; P. 14, 57 ; with indie, A. 552; S. 2, 841, 865; as also in Commod. C. A. 119. Plautus had used both modes, and both in the same sentence. Cure. 480; Hier. generally uses the indie. (Goelzer, p. 356). Note 2. Informal Indirect Discourse: Electus Christo locus est, ubi corda probata provehat, P. 8, i. §104. Relative Clauses of Purpose : nuntius advolare, qui pastum daret, C. 4, 56 ; facies multiformes fingit, per quas fruatur, C. 6, 39; dextram porrigit cuius sinistra nesciat, C. 7, 218; se praestitit per species quas possit conprendere, A. 25 ; bis sex adpositi qui bona servarent, A. 740. Further: A. 124, 864; Ps. 915; S. 2, 43; P. 2,346; II, 152; D. 17; 134. 39 §105- Attraction of Antecedent into Relative Clause; non occidet interior qui spiral homo, S. 2, 185 ; quae pridem con- diderat iura, vertit, S. 2, 30S ; quern tu niinitaris ignem, flagrabis ipse, P. 5, 187. Further: Ps. 394 ; S. 2,917; C. 6,79; 10,33,41. Note. Attraction of the case of a relative to that of its ante- cedent is believed not to occur. §106. Other Relative Clauses : a) qui = causal: hie locus dignus tenendis ossibus visas Deo, qui pudicus esset, P. 1,6. b) Subj. by attraction: cuius sit fraximus eruta quae conscen- deret, S. 2, 458. §107. Accusative Conjunction. 1. After quod. a) quod after verba sentiendi et declarandi, very common in eccl. Latin: occurs 14 times in Cyprian, 11 in Sedulius and 107 times in Hier. (Goelzer, p. 376). Hatfield cites 17 in Juvencus, but none seem to occur in Prud ; none also with quia and quo- niam. This is a mark of his good Latin. Note. Quod clause as subj. of finite verb seems to occur in: sit satis quod, etc., C. 3, 181. b) quod causal, with subjunctive to give reason of another as : increpas ventum furentem quod vertat aequor, C. 9, 37 ; ct. Ps. 496; S. I, pr. 31; 2, 38, 912; P. 5. 120; ID, 1048. 2. Quia.' After verba sent, et decl.. 23 times in Cyprian, 16 in Hier., none in Juv., none in Prud. Quia causal, much less frequent than quod, and followed by the indie: quia dedit, haec subdidit, C. 3, 26; moritur quia habet, C. 3, 187 ; cf. C. 10, 13 ; H. 25 ; P. 6, 13. Used interchangeably with quod, S. 2, 1105; with quoniam, S. 2, 1 109. Occurs after doleas in Ps. 120; doleas quia, the Plautine usage; quia is used in all 33 times and only once after a verb of emotion (doleo) ; miror quod occurs in P. 10, 291, and occurs 3 times in Plant., cf. Trin. 290 (Bx); (quia with nam seems to occur but once: S. 1,53). 3. Quavi appears with post in the form postquam and is fol- lowed by the indicative — most frequently by the perfect, then by the historical present ; by the pluperfect in C. 7, 74 ; Ps. 133 ; S. 2, 740; by the subjunctive in rident postquam conbiberint Deun), C. 4, 18; Postquam cadaver retraxerint, procedit inde pontifex, P. 10, 1042 ; perf. subj. also in Commod. C. A. 773 ; appears also ' I have followed Sclimalz (and Lindsay, Lat. Lang. p. 610) in regarding this as an ace.

Dum. dum, ' while,' with pres. indie: cardo rotat dum fruimur, Pr. 43, also : C. 6, 25 ; A. 599 ; S. 2, 1086 ; P. 4, 131. dum ' until,' with accessory idea of purpose, suspense being involved : eo usque dum lux surgeret, C. 2, 75 ; expectat dum co- quat, Apr. 51. dtim joined with adversative signification : dum tumuit vigor, nullus fecundavit amor, S. 2, 1080. (The perf. in both clauses is used by Cicero.) JVote. dum occurs with imp. subj, 4 times in Sedulius, with the pres. once, with the pres. indie, once. §108. Locative Conjunction. 1. Cu?n. The imperf. and pluperf. after cum are regularly in the subjunctive, as, C. 3, 77; 4, 52; A. 234, 308, 1034; P. 11, 6; Ps. 135, etc. I find no case of the imperf. indie, with cum, as in Juv. 3, 98; but with the perf. indie, it occurs in C. 5, 103: cum semel fluxerunt. 2. Quoniam,, causal, occurs 21 times and always with the indi- cative: C. 5, 23; A. 516, 1038; H. 694, etc. quoniam is used by eccl. writers like quia and quod after verba sent, et decl. Cyprian uses it thus 11 times ; Hier. but once, Ep. 147, I (Goel. p. 384); so also but once by Tert. (Wolff.

Note: credis ut incipias occurs in Commod. i, 34, 19, not i, 24 19 as given by Dombart (Index). 5. Ubi has 3 uses: (a) temporal, where it is construed with the perlect about as often as with the historical present ; besides being used with these two tenses, it also occurs with the pluperfect once : ubi regnaverat, texat, Ps.912; (b) as a relative of purpose: elec- tus Christo locus est ubi provehat, P. 8, i ; consecrat aeterna ubi luce coruscet, Ps. 108; legisse deos ubi sanctior usus maneret, S. 2. 541 ; (c) as a locative adverb : Ps. 665 ; S. i, 573 ; P. 3. 191 ; 10, 411 ; 12, 37; etc. 6.

Qziin : nee nox ulla vacet quin canat, Pr. 38 ; sic nulla restet mora quin resumat, P. 5, 570. {Qui7i corroborative : this is by far its most frequent use, espe- cially with an added et. Prudentius seems to have been especially fond of beginning the line with quin et, using it thus 9 times to Juvencus o times, Hor. 3 times, Vergil 5 times ; cf. A. 458 ; P. 5, 281; etc., immo is added in P. 5, 165, and with potius, A. 294; etiam, in Ps. 851 ; S. 2, 778). §110. Ablative Conjunction with quo=:ut. Quo is thus used both with and without comparatives; without: frequent, refer- ring to a preceding noun, as tu iter monstras quo resurgat, C. 10, 20 ; 12, 146; H. 250, etc. Also : iugulos opponere quo oppetant, P. 10, 65 ; but used in this latter way rare.

Hieronymus was particularly fond of abstracts in -io and they abound in the Vulgata. They are a mark of the sermo plebeius.' Prudeniius uses 53, a few not having a clearly abstract signification. None are ar..dp. (marked *), 8 are post- Augustan and late (followed by t), o eccl. The remaining 45 are classical. They occur most often in Ham. and least often in S. I. List. In -ion : conditio, conluvio, ditio, legio, oblivio, optio, regio, relligio, (8); cf. also, amasio (t), P. 10, 182, pugio, C. 12, 116 (passage not cited by Fisch, Archiv 5, 82); pusio, C. 11, 13; 12, 104 ; etc. In -tion and -sion: actio, agnitio, ambitio, auctio, cognitio, concio, crematio (f), dimensio, discretio (f), divisio, dominatio, generatio (f), habitatio, imitatio, inpressio, indignatio, instauratio, intentio, iussio (t), laceratio, lapidatio, meditatio, natio, obiurgatio, observatio, obstinatio, obstrectatio, operatio, oratio, passio (t), persuasio (t), portio, quaestio, ratio, redemptio, reparatio (f), se- ditio, simulatio, subiectio, superstitio, supplicatio,transmigratio (f), trepidatio, veneratio, (44). In the use of nouns in -io, Prud. stands in marked contrast to Vergil, 53 : 6. On the other hand, Plautus uses 85 ' and Ten 22.' Three of the 6 of Vergil were employed by Prud.: ratio, seditio, superstitio; 11 were also used by Juvencus. §112. Abstracts in -tas and -tudo. Prudentius uses 64 nouns in -tas and 2 in -tudo. Of these none are a-, dp., 6 are p. A. and late (t), the remaining 58 are classical. Both forms in -tudo are classical, and occur in C. 9 ; the majority of the forms in -tas occur in the lyric poems. A marked difference from Vergil appears here also: Prud. used 64 to Verg. 19, while on the other hand Plaut. used 72 ; 14 of those used by Vergil appear in Prud. In -tudo, Prud. used 2, Verg. o, Plaut. 23, Ter. 9. This latter form belongs rather to the sermo vulgaris or to the archaic. 'Cf. Marx, Auctor ad llercnnium Proleg. p. 1O8.

Prudentius uses 149 of these forms : 8 are «'-. sip (*), 29 p. Aug. (t), 3 poet., 2 poet, and p. A., 4 eccl., I archaic and late ; the remaining 102 are classical. List of Nou7is in -tor. Adsertor, aemulator, amator, animator {^^, apparitor, arator, auctor, bellator, cantor, *captator (as used by Pr.), censor, cogni- tor, conditor, confessor (eccl.), consultor, contemptor, conviciator, creator, cultor, dator, depositor (f ), dictator, *dissertator, dissi- pator, divisor, doctor, dominator,ductor, emancipator (f), exactor, excitator (f), executor (f ), extinctor, factor, fautor, fictor, formator (f), fossor, fundator, genitor, gestator (f), gladi- ator, gubernator, habitator, hortator, ianitor, incohator (f), inci- tator (t), induperator (archaic and late), infusor, inmolator, inper- ator, insecutor (I), insidiator, institor, interemptor (f), C. 12, 114, cf.

(29). A marked contrast exists between Prud. and Vergil in the use of these forms, but a much more marked one between Prud. and Juv.; in -tor: Prud. has 120, Verg. 50, Juv. 26 (accord, to Hat- field); in -trix: Prud. has 29, Verg. 11, Juv. i (H). This seems ' P. 5, 406; not cited by Paucker, Kl. Beitrage zur Lex. u. Worth. 1872, P-48i. 47 to be a marked characteristic of Priidentius, though Tertullian used 150.' Out of the 149 forms in I'rud., 108 did not occur in Juv., and 36 of them had been used by Vergil. §119. Diminutives. As diminutives occur in greatest abun- dance in the sermo famiharis, one could hardly expect to find them in any great numbers in the poems of Prudentius. For purposes of comparison Juvencus and Vergil were also examined. The results are: Prud. employs 55, Juv. 8, Vergil 30; on the other hand, Plaut.' uses 164, Ten' 34. Of these 55, all are class, except 3 (t = post- Aug. and late); 15 were previously used by Vergil (V); 4 also by Juvencus (J) ; and 3 of them were used by each of the three poets. List.

Prudentius shows a fond- ness for each of these formations, 55 appearing in -alis and 78 in -bilis. Of the forms in -alis, 2 are aiz. tip., 8 p. Aug., and 3 eccl.; the total of all the forms in -alis in Prud. is more than twice as many as those used by Vergil, as 55 : 23. Prud. uses 15 forms which had been already used by Verg. List in -alis : amphitheatralis, armentalis, bestialis (t), *brac- tealis, bustualis, capitalis, carceralis (t) (also uses carcereus), carnalis (eccl.)

(78). §121. Adjectives (and Participles) as Substantives. This usage appearing already in the pre-class:cal period, occurs with greater frequency in the classical period, being advanced by Sallust and the Augustan poets, but finds its greatest develop- ment in late Latin. Prudentius, as Juvencus before him, makes free use of this method of expression. A complete catalogue cannot be given here, but the following may be noted : ' Per. 5, 1 1 ; not cited by Paucker, Kl.

Prud. makes free use of the nom. and ace. plur. neut. as Vergil did before him (Verg. Aen. 7, 562, Ladewig) ; praesens utile, P. 10, 541. b) Mascidine and Feniiyiine Adjectives used substantively : Hier., according to Goelzer, used such freely, 88 examples being cited. Prudentius does not show so many examples, but 12 in the singular and 7 in plural, exactly the converse of Quintilian, who uses many more in the plural than in the sing.' List.

II, 50; age ipse maior carnifex, P. 5, 148; laetior ait, P. 14, 68 ; altius reposta, P. 13, 51. §123. Comparison by Aid of Adverbs- Prudentius some- times forms the comparative by using an adverb, in which case he always uses magis, the particle used in Spanish Latin,' and never plus. Claudianus, Bell. Poll. 126, uses magis insignis. Sidonius and St. Augustine, on the other hand, inclined to plus. Occur- rences: magis saporum, C. 4, 94; magis debilem, P. 2, 235; mage cruda, P. 13, 19; mage potens, P. 3, 10; magis utile, H. 710. Cf. also in Claud. M. Victor. 2, 157; loh.

Prud. does not use magis with the comparative, a usage of Plautus and of some of the late writers, and especially of African latinity.' Paul. Pell, uses magis with comp. 10 times and CI. M. Victor, uses it thus 3 times. Cf. Commod. C. A. 478, magis plenius; but, plus levior, C. A. 5; cf. Vict. Vit. 24, 14: magis laudabilior ; Sedul. 246, 18: magis amplius.^ Note 2.

Pronouns (and Adjective Pronouns). §125, Pronoun Omitted. This occurs sometimes with parti- ciples, sometimes with the infinitive. For the latter, see §101, C. §126. Suus + quisque : adsignare decs proprios sua cuique iura, H. 105; omnibus posita est sua cuique arula, S. i, 236; sua quemque cogit velle potestas, C. 8, 67 ; suum quibusque reddito, P. 2, 94. §127.

Cicero uses nemo with words descriptive of persons. c) ullus := aliquis: quae corporis ullo sinu se tegat, Ps. 741. d) totus = omnis: totum hominem, Ps. 217; totus miles, Ps. 450; P. 9, II. This is especially frequent in Apul.Met.;' frequent also in Commodianus and Sedulius; cf. Paul. Petr. i, 271 ; 2, 18; Ennod. 14, 26; 76, 13. e) ullus occurs after ne in S. i, 178 and S. 2, 449; aliquis after ne: H. 946; cf Lucif. Cal. 22, 6; CI. Mam. 51,8. f) quisque=iquisquis.

In. 192; Claud. Mam. 204, 7. §129. Adverbs in -im. These occur much more frequently in Prud. than in Juv., as 30 : 7 (the latter number being all Huemer cites in his index to Juv.). Livy showed a marked preference for these forms. Of Prudentius' list, 25 do not appear in Juv. The complete list for Prudentius is as follows, those marked (J) being also in Juvencus, those marked (J) not cited for Prud. by Funck in his list in Archiv, 8, p. 98 ff: adfatim (J), articulatim, carp- tim(l), congregatim, cumulatim, cursim, digestim, frustatim (Ps. 720, omitted on p. 500, J), furtim (JJ), gradatim (J), guttatim, iunctim, membratim (J), minuatim (|), mixtim, particulatim (t), passim (Jt), paullatim (tt), permixtim, raptim (J|), scissim, se- gregatim, sensim (J), sparsim, statim (t), summatim (J), undatim, vicatim (J omitted entirely, cf. p. 505), vicissim (JJ), viritim (t). 5. Numerals. §130. Use of Composite Form. These appear, a) with dis- tributives as : mense bis quino, P. 10, 78 (ter quinis, Cypr. Gall. Gen. 202) ; sex septena nomina, A. 943 ; septem septenis, A. 992 ; quinis diebus octies, C. 7, 187. b) With cardinals: bis sex adpositi, A. 739; bis septem, D. 21; tris quater, P. 3, 12; ter qumque, D. 93 ; cf. also P. 4, i ; C. 7, 38 ; P. 4, 53 ; 173 ; Ps. 839 ; S. 2, 423; 462; 715; 1060. §131. Distributives for Cardinals. A number of instances occur, as : septenos decies in ortus, A. 1004 ; ternis processibus, C. 7, 121 ; cf. trina decennia, Paul. Pell. 232 ; discipulis duodenis, Ps. 850; duodeni fasces, S. 2, 424; centena milia, Ps. 481 ; notice P. 4, 49 : tribus aut duobus forsan et quinis aliquae placebunt; ter senos, Pspr. 22. ' Donatus, ad Ad. 2, 3, 11, says : mage pro magis apxaiafuZ. 53 6. Particles. §132. Use of Negative Particles. Prudentius uses non relatively to //a//^nuich more frequently than Juvencus, as 248 is to 20 in the former, to 61 to 17 in the latter. He differs from Juven- cus further in not usinp^ haud mora at all ; in not using haud veni or haud poterat : in using haud but twice with aliter (S. i, 638 ; 2, 831), with which he also uses non as in P. 3, 56. He uses haud with the verbs nocet and placet; with dubium est twice; and it occurs most frecjuently with some form of dubius, or dubito. He also uses it with adjectives, as haud sterilem, S. i, 258. Further- more there is a striking difference between the number of occur- rences of haud in Prudentius, 20, and the number used by Vergil, 120 (Kennedy, Verg. p. 637). Note I. Non unquam occurs in: H. 165; S. 2, 115; 1061 ; P- 5- 433; 10. 295. Haud unquam : A. 10. Note 2. Ncc non et occurs in H. 222, Ps. 559, S. i, 50 ; P. i, 10; 5, 485; 14, 5; 10, 1024; C. 4, 5; in all, 8 times. I have observed this 15 times in Vergil,' cf. also : Juv. 10, 51 ; Clandianus, Rapt. Pros, i, 266 ; Com. 2, iS, 6 ; 19, 13 ; 24, 14 ; and in prose : Cypr. 238, 14 (H.); Eugippius, i, 12; 4, 9; Vict. Vit. 7, 13; Ennodius, 354, 3 ; later, Gregory of Tours, p. 344, 23 (B.). See further, Krebs, Antib. H", p. 123. §133- Other Particles. a) Ast (archaic) is used by Prud. 19 times, while Verg. used it 16 times (Horace did not use it in his lyric poems or in his epistles') ; it always occurs before vowels ; Prud. uses at 34 times to Vergil's 168 times. Ast occurs much oftener, relatively to at, in Prud. than in Verg.; ast before adjectives, Ps. 649; S. i, 93; ast ubi, P. 3, 26, appearing also in Verg. and Juv. b) exin (archaic) occurs 6 times, twice in the second place (C. 7, 126 ; P. 2, 161) ; Verg. uses it 4 times and always in first place (VVotke). c) Particles 0/ Comparison : haud secus ac si, H. 804; S. 2, 60 ; haud aliter quam si, S. i, 638 ; non aliter quam cum, H. 208. d) ob occurs in C. 3, 184; H. 321 ; S. i, 444; 2, 489; P. 10, 76; 197 ; 13, 88 ; propter but 2 times : Ps. 858 ; S. i, 419. ' Kublcr. Archiv, 8 (1892), p. 181, cites only 8 examples ; to his list add Geo. 2, 452 ; 3, 72 ; Aen. 3, 352 ; 4i 39 ; S. »oo ; 6, 595 ; 8, 345 ; and re.id Aen. I, 748 for 788 in his list. *Cf. Luc. Mueller, De Ke .Mctr.* (1894), p. 501. 54 e) ab occurs 90 times, and always before vowels ; Augustine, on the other hand, used it 9 times before consonants (cf. Archiv, 3, 149) ; abs is not used. 7. Verbs. §134. Frequentatives. Almost all of the frequentatives used by Prudentius are classical, 62 out of 63, and 19 are also injuven- cus.' One is aV. sip. (*), i is poetical, i poetical and p. Aug. Frequentatives in Prudentius : advento, advolito (used but once, S. 2, 575), agito, apto, canto, capto, certo, cesso, cito, *concrepito, P.

The general rules of versification are, for the most part, adhered to very closely. Violations of prosody occur, chiefly in the direc- tion of quantities, but not with such frequency as in the verses of some of the writers of his own age, or of the age immediately preceding him. Much careful work has been done in this field by Krenkel.^ §135. Hiatus is admitted much less frequently than by Vergil himself, and that too in a century characterized by a somewhat lax treatment of hiatus (cf. Teuffel, Rom. Lit. §403, 2). These cases may be cited : i) radice Jesse editus, C. 12, 50. 2) aram ante ipsam simplices, C. 12, 131. 3) hunc posteri Efrem colunt, C. 12, 189. 4) vade homo adflatu nostri praenobilis oris, H. 698.

Cf. also H. 287 ; P. 10, 832 ; 925, and Luc. Muller, Re Metr.' p. 330 and p. 171. The unelided vowels of Nos. 3, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 are in the arsis (ictus syllable); i, 2, 4, 5. 6, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 in the thesis ; i and 3 are before proper names, 10 before a caesura, m all of which hiatus is permissible (Luc. Muller, Re Metr.' p. 375). There are 7 occurrences of hiatus in Juv., both Hatfield (p. 35) and Huemer (Index) omitting 1, 126. §136. Elision is much less frequent than in Vergil, and some- what more frequent than in Juvencus. According to Hatfield there are 232 cases of elision in the first 500 verses of the Aeneid and 105 cases in Juv. i, 1-500. Prudentius, on the other hand, has 150 in the first 500 verses of the Psychomachia, largely based on Vergil ; elision occurs most frequently in the 2nd and 4th feet, 44 in the 2nd, 41 in the 4th; in 5th foot, 10 cases occur. Note I. Elision after the 6th arsis (aphaeresis) : I have noted 38 of these in the hexameter poems, and 28 in the four bks. of Juv. : Huemer cites 11 instances in Sedulius, but has wrong reference in one of them (i, 321). Note 2. Eskuche, R. M. 45 (1890), p. 417, gives the number of cases of elision of the 3rd form (after the dactyl of the 5th ft.) in Prud. as i in 858 lines, instead of i in 1029 lines. Prud. has 5 of this form, Juv. o; Prud. has about 4 times as many cases of elision after the 5th trochee, over 3 times as many after the 5th arsis, as Juv. 56 §137- Special Cases of Shortened Syllables. Final is frequently short, both in verbs and nouns. Krenkel gives a list of 51 verbs in final 5 and of 52 nouns in 6. A few omissions occur in his lists of occurrences : cogo, H. 702 ; exigo, H. 702; latro, S. 2, 791; meditatio, H. 91 ; nemo, P. 10, 237; virgo, S. 2, 969 (but virgo, S, 2, 1090) ; Juno, S. 2, 497 ; also in adverbs: ergo, S. 2, 882; porro, H. 22, 147; postremo, P. 10, 968. Also duo frequently, H. 4, 11, 21, 68, etc.: notice duo, H. II, and 2 lines below duo; H. 350 contains duo twice; ergo, S. 2,204; 220 ; 750. Of 6 in the ablative sing, of the gerund, Krenkel cites 18 examples; Huemer (Index) cites 7 examples in Juv. Cui appears 7 times as cui (A. 173 ; P. 4, 4, etc.) ; once as cui, S. 2, 114; once as cui, C. 3, 167 (CI. Mar. Vict. 1,457, ciii ; 2, 158, and 3, 320, cui ; cf. Orient.

Spondaic Verses. 29, possibly 30, such verses occur : A. 266, 285, 817, 864, 932, 1038; H. 76, 103, 144. 222, 266, 390, 422, 622,713, 722,859; Ps.98, 594; S. 1,43; hi; 189; 468; 603; 2, 267 ; 364 ; 566 ; 856 ; 919 ; and possibly H. 450, which ends with deflens leremias ; but more probably, dactylic. (A dactyl occurs in every case in the fourth foot except in H. 450.) But three such verses occurred in Juv. §140. Characteristics of Prudentius' Verse, and Table. The verse of Prudentius is noticeable for its lightness, in direct contrast to that of Juvencus, which was remarkable for its heavi- ness. In this respect Prudentius comes next to Val. Flaccus and Ovid, the first two in lightness of verse of the 15 poets selected by Drobisch (Ein statistischer Versuch iiber die Formen des latein- ischen Hexameters), his verse being about 5 per cent, heavier than that of Ovid and over 10 per cent, lighter than that of Juven- cus and about 5 per cent, lighter than that of Vergil (45 per cent.) Prudentius' proportion is : d : s : : 50.66 : 49.34, that is, the dactyls and spondees are almost evenly balanced. Like Vergil and Juvencus, he indicates the character of the verse by beginning more often with a dactyl than with a spondee. 57 He has in the first foot 62.29 per cent, of dactyls to 37.71 percent, of spondees. He thus begins with a dactylic movement almost 3 per cent, more frequently than Vergil, and about 7 per cent, more frequently than Juvencus. Considering the movement of the verse as a wliole. it may be noticed: i) the frequent repetition of the same movement in a following line, as ddss Ps. 424, 5 ; ddds Ps. 383, 4 ; 485, 6 ; dddd S. i , 370, i ; etc., or 3 lines of same movement, as dsds 343r; ddss Ps. 356f; or 4 lines, as, S. 2, 776f ; H. 703f; he has 5 groups of these 3-line movements, 278f, 529f, 572f, 91 7f, 956f. 2) For variety a converse movement in the following line is very frequent, as dddd in S. 2, 815, and ssss in 816 ; dsss in one line, sssd in foil, in H. 87, 125, 177, 262; S. i, 526; or dsss and sddd in Ps. 1S2, 273. 3) In the first 436 lines of Ham. ssss does not occur, and up to the 603 line only twice, 437, 457. But considering in detail the metrical composition of every verse of his four great hexametrical poems, we find the dactyls and spondees arranged in the following schemes : Table. Book.

But 5 books of the Aeneid have higher aver- age than this (III, IX, X, XI and XII), while the lowest average is 9.16 (Bk. V). The average of the 15 poets is that of Pruden- tius, 1 1.8, c) Another contrast between the two poets comes out in the fact that, while dddd is the lowest scheme in Juvencus, ssss is within -^ of being the lowest in Prudentius. d) Comparison of the four favorite schemes : 1st . 2nd 3rd. 4th.

Notes, (i) The favorite scheme of Prudentius is dsds, the 5th in order with Juvencus, the 2nd with the 15 poets. 2) ddss is the 2nd in order both with Prud., Juv., and Verg., and is the 3rd with the 15 poets. 3) The 2nd and 3rd forms of Prud. are the same as the 2nd and 3rd of Juv. 4) The four favorite schemes of Prud. are the same as the four favorite schemes of Verg. and of the 15 poets, but the fourth scheme of Juv. is 15th with Prud. §141. Accent in its Relation to the Ictus. In the third and fourth centuries accent began more and more to assert its claims, and the number of verses constructed according to accent, not quantity, more and more to increase.'' In the fourth century minute attention was given by the grammarians to the differences between the quantitative verse and the accented verse. Mar. Victorinus (G. L. 6, 206) asks : " rythmus quid est ?" And in the ' From statistics made by the Latin Seminary of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, 1887. «Cf. Stolz, Hist. Gram. d. Lat. Spr. (1894), I, §38, 2. 59 precedinji: century, Commodianus, a writer of whom Prudentius made some use, wrote hexameters in which the word-accent counts for more than the metrical value of the syllables. In order to ascertain what influence accent had upon the verse- structure of Prudentius, the first 500 lines of the Psychomachia were examined, and the conflicts of word-accent and verse- accent noted. A similar number of lines were also examined from Juv., Bk. I, and from Vergil, Aen. I. The results are : i) Verses with no conflict of accent, i. e. verses which can be read with regard to accent merely:' Priid. has 2, Juv. has i, and Vergil has 6. 2) Verses with but one conflict : Prud. has 50, Juv. has 49 and Vergil 82. But in a large proportion of the cases this one conflict is in the 3rd foot, due to the occurrence of the caesura. This ought hardly then be counted ; (Prud. has 48 verses with the one conflict at this foot, Juv. has 40, and Vergil has 59) ; accord- ingly Prud. would have 50, Juv. 41, and Verg. 65 verses with no conflict of accent. A marked difference is seen between Prud. and Vergil, and that is, that Prud. has but 2 verses in which the conflict is not in the 3rd foot, while Vergil has 23 such verses ; Juv. too has but 9, and therefore as many verses with no conflict as verses with one. %\\2.

'In this investigation secondary accent (Stolz, Hist. Gram. I. §89) is taken into consideration, and it should be remembered that all statements refer to the entire verse, and not merely to the first 4 feet. 6o Notes, (i) Prudentius gives slightly more attention to accent than does Vergil, and considerably more than does Juvencus. (2) Prudentius' verse exhibits many more instances of harmony of ictus and accent, both in the opening measures and in the close, than does either Juvencus or Vergil, and the difference is very striking in the 4th foot, there being over 80 more cases of harmony there than in the same foot in the verse of either Juv. or Verg., which practically amounts to saying that there are over 80 verses more in Prudentius with the close of the verse capable of being scanned merely with regard to the accent. (3) The larger number of instances of harmony in the 4th foot in Prud. is very largely caused by that foot being so frequently composed of a word or 2 words ; this occurs over twice as often as in Verg. and 14 times more than in Juv. This involves also the relative frequency of the occurrence of the bucolic diaeresis. (4) With these three poets the 2nd and 3rd feet each are very rarely composed of i or 2 words, but 5 in the 2nd foot, 4 in the 3rd. (5) The verses of Prud. and of Juv. run along with less smooth- ness, and the lines have less of unity and energy, than the verses of Vergil, there being fewer caesurae in them than in those of Vergil. (6) In Juvencus, i, 352, occurs a verse with diaeresis at each foot : nunc sine, nam decet hoc, sic sancta per omnia nobis ; this is very rare. (7) Noteworthy: Prud. Ps. 135 f. has 3 lines with but one con- flict of accent ; i5of. has five such lines in succession. 2. Other Metres. §143- The Iambic Trimeter. In Prudentius the rythmical flow again approaches the canons of the Greek trimeter. A large per cent of the odd feet are spondees, notably in the 5th foot. Most of the feet are thus iambi or spondees ; the other varieties are sparingly used. In all 15 19 iambic trimeters occur, of which 1360 are grouped in strophes of 5 verses each; 28 occur in couplets alternating with the dimeter; the remainder, 131, occur y.axa. (Ttc^ov, In these 1519 trimeters : (i) The dactyl occurs only in P. 10; in the ist foot 6 times, 31, 651, 788,791,841, 1004; in the 2nd foot o times (of. 301, 968); in the 3rd foot 8 times, 259, 644, 669, 896, 948, 952, 963, 981 ; in the 4th foot o times ; in the 5th foot once, 667. 6i (2) The anapesf occurs 96 times in ist foot (89 in P. 10, 7 in C. 7); in 2nd, 3rd and 4th feet o times; in 5th, 41 (38' being in P. 10) ; in Horace only 5 times. (3) The tribrach occurs in ist foot once, P. 10, 675 ; 2nd foot II times, Apr. 39; P. 10, 301 (ignosco), 333, 703, 753. 758, 771, 784, 876, 968 (postremo), iioi ; in 3rd, 4 times, P. 10, 587, 764, S56, 978; in the 4th, 13 times, P. 10, 109, 193, 237 (nemo), 346, 416, 481, 550, 592, 641. 713, 767, 837, 978 ; in 5th, o times. (4) Proceleusmaticus does not occur. (5) But one p?ire iavibic line was noted, P. 10, 156. Note. Notice P. 10, 788, amator is the reading of the Mss. Wbmq; animator pronounced anmator? Cf Romance deriva- tives. (6) Close of Verse. Noteworthy are : (i) Contrary to usage of Plautus (Luchs) he has a final iambus preceded by a Cretic word : P. 10, 71 ; 155 ; 292 ; by a word end- ing in a Cretic : P. 10, 706. (2) Two iambic words at end, 12 occur: C. 7, 46; 171; 195; Hpr. I, 7, 23, 60; P. 10,452; 484; 499; 780; 943. Also with elision in the 5th foot, P. 10, 736; 854. (3) With 3 iambi at end : P. 10, 175 ; 498; 706; 802; 938; 957; 963- (4) With monosyllable at end, 6: C. 7, 59; Pspr. 59; P. 10, 506 ; 927 ; 1006 ; i iig, all parts of the verb esse. (5) Other forms : Cretic word, 94 times ; 4 syllables, 73 ; 5 sylla- bles, 21 ; 6 syllables, 2. P. 10, 109 ends with ^^^ \ ^ — | ^—. §144. Sapphic Metre. Prudentius has written 280 verses in this metre. A comparison was made between his usage and that of Horace in an equal number of verses (C. Sec. ; Bk. IV, 2, 6, II and III, 27 (1-64). The following are the results : a) Caesura: difference in usage quite marked : Prud. has the penthemimeral in every case, Horace has the trochaic 52 times. b) Elisio7i at the caesura : Prud. has i (P. 4, 62) ; Hor. 3 (3, 27, 10; 39; C. S. 26). c) Elision between 3rd verse and adonic : Prud. has o ; Hor. has 2 (4, 2, 23; C. S. 47), -que each time. d) Hiatus before the adonic: Prud. i (P. 4, 27) -um ; Hor. none. e) Hiatus between the other verses : Bet. ist and 2nd, Prud.:= 10, Hor. = I ; bet. 2nd and 3rd, Prud. = 4, I lor. :=. i.

Difference quite marked: Prud., vowel long 1=89, short 121 ; Hor.,vowellong=r 128, short 82. j) Monosyllabic ending : Prud. has 2, but each is preceded by a monosyllable ; Hor. has 4, but 2 are preceded by a monosylla- ble, 2 by a dissyllable. Horace has in all only three cases of this last kind. (Luc. Mueller, Re Metr.^ p. 263.) k) Forms oi the ado7iic. This clausula appears in Prud. and in Hor. together in 8 different forms : (i) munere donat: Prud. 24, Hor. 41 times; (2) lege coerces: Prud. 28, Hor. 18 times; (3) pallor in ore : Prud. 3, Hor. 5 times; (4) in mea vota : Prud. 4, Hor. 4 times ; (5) quos veneramur : Prud. 2, Hor. i time ; (6) fons et honoris : Prud. i , Hor. o time ; (7) est hederae vis : Prud. o, Hor.

Imitation of Other Poets. The poems of Prudentius show by their phraseology in particular that he had a wide 71 acquiintance not only with the greater, but also with the lesser poets of Rome, and that he deserves the title Gennadius bestowed upon him, " vir saeculari litteratura eruditus." a) Horace. Breidt' has shown what extensive use Prudentius made of Horace. It appears that to the 238 passages he has cited, every poem has contributed something except Cath. 12; that the lyric poems have presented a third more than the hexa- metric ; that the Peristeph. shows more passages imitated than the Cath. (77 : 60) ;' that the odes are cited most often, then the epis- tles, then the satires. Some Horatian constructions also occur, cf. §93, 108 d, et al. b) Ovid. These may be cited : imbrem fiere facit, C. 5, 24, and me Jlere facit. Met. 7, 690; mollis si bractea gypsum texerat, S. i, 436; tenuis bractea ligna tegat. A. A. 3, 232. Christum sub tacito pectore mtirnmrans, Spr. i, 36; — tacito venerantur mtcrmure numen, M. 6, 203. Cf. also, P. 2, 123, and Fast. 2, 573 ; Ps. 573 and Ex. Pont. 3, 3, 9 ; C. 2, 69, and Ex. Pont. 3, 3, 97 ; Ps. 414, and Met. 8, 530. To these parallels in phraseology certain parallels in syntax maybe added : emerere with infin., according to Draeger §420, occurring only in Ovid, is used by Prud. A. 1033; dedignor, frequent in Ovid, occurs in H. 955 ; piamen, a word used only by Ov., according to Harper's Diet., occurs in C. 9, 33. c) yuvena/ stiems to have been used more freely : — etfrigida parvas praebebat spelunca domos, S. 2, 288 and Juv. 6, 34. porrum et cepe, S. 2, 867, and Juv. 159 (Hor. Ep. i, 2, 21). geyuia incerare Dianae, A. 457 ; genua incerare deorum, Juv. 10, 55. Qiddquid agunt hovii7ies, H. 763, and Juv. i, 85. — m fornice natos, H. 636; —^fornice nati, Juv. 3, 156. — vultuqiie et voce severa, Ps. 553 ; — vidtiiqiie et veste severiim, Juv. 14, no. — temii distantia fine, A. 748 ; — lemii distantia rima, Juv. 3, 97. — ornamenta deorum, S. 2, 64, and Juv, 3, 218. For further imitations compare : • Breidt. Ue Aurelio I'rudcnlio Clemente Horatii Imitatore, 1887. A short list is given by Faguet, Ue Aur. I'rucl. Clem. Carm. lyr. p. 54 (1883). 'Hoissier, La Fin Pag. II, 1 17, however, says: " L'oriKinaliti- dii poite y est i ce qu'il me scmble, encore plus apparcnte que dans le rccucil prece- dent (Cath.)." Cf. also El»crt, (;csch. d.

The dependency of Prudentius upon Seneca and Lucan, not only for turns of expression, but also for models of whole scenes, has been pointed out by Sixt, Phil. 51 (1892), p. 501 f. Thus, the passage in P. 11, 85 f. seems to have been modeled on Sen. Phaedr. 1073 f.; C. 9, 70, on Here. Fur. 46 f. For turns of expression Sixt points out 37 parallels, 17 being in the Cath. This subject has been further treated also by Weyman in Comment. Wolffl. (189 1), p. 284. Cf. also Boissier, La Fin du Pag. 2, 122. e) Lucan. With Lucan, Prudentius shares the same predilec- tion for bloody scenes and details of horror (Sixt, p. 505): Bell. Civ. Ill, 572 f., and 6, 540 f., which seem to have served Prud. in his martyr-scenes. Cf. also Bell. 'Civ. 9, 4 f., and Prud. P. 14, 91 f. On turns of expression cf. S. 2, 811 and Luc. i, no, C. 7, 163 and Luc. 4, 3, 14; Sixt cites 36 such passages, and of these 15 are in the Cath. f) Silius. Pun. 6, no has the expression, sed quid ego haec^Prud. A. 741, but this may have come from Aen. 2, loi, and that from Ennius Ann. 210. g) Two passages suggest Statins : C. 3, 133: dumque rudes imitatur avos, rudes populos — cole- bas, Silv. 3, 3, 5 ; adflatum calido contraxit ab Euro, S. 2, 962, — Sic afflantur vineta noto, Silv. 5, i, 146. Note : Prudentius does not begin any of his verses with baud mora as does Vergil, but in A. 755 with nee mora as in Theb. 513 and Silv. 3, 117. h) Juvencus. Only a few passages suggest this poet: — thnor omnis abesto, S. 2, 737, and Juv. 3, 107. non ante caeli principem septemplicis, C. 7, 36 ; — caeli septemplicis aethra,Juv. i, 356. — per utrumque cucurrit, A. 177 ; per inane cucurrit, Juv. i, 360. 73 Cf. also, P. 6, i6o, and Praef. of Juv. 22; Prud. Ditt. 105, and Juv. I, 247 ; H. 330, and Juv. i, 92, but also in Verg.; C. 5, 27, and Juv. 2, 2, but cf. Stat. Theb. 2, 527 ; S. i, 6, 85. Note. No attempt has been made to trace in detail the phrases imitated from the eccles. writers. Some of these imitations have been already pointed out : Brockhaus, Aur. Prud. Clem. p. 203 ff. calls attention to the dependence of Prudentius on Tertullian ; Ebert, Gesch. Litt. der Mitt. P, 254 and. 272, to his imitations of Ambrose; Manitius, Gesch. d. Christ.-lat. p. 85 and 95, to his use of Damasus; and p. 41, to his imitation of Commodian. Cf. also, Brand, De Lactantii apud Prud. vestigiis (Heidi. 1894). VII.— LANGUAGE. §152. Words used only by Prudentius. Prudentius exhibits a remarkable fondness for coining newf words, or in using old words in a new sense. Some of these were taken up by later writers, but the following list of 55 is believed to contain words used only by Prudentius. (Puech, it may be noted, on p. 265, cites Krenkel's Diss. p. 3, for a list of such words, but here only 6 are given.)

Titles. Prudentius, like his fellow-countryman Juven- cus, exhibits a fondness for introducing high-sounding titles for divine personages, often accumulating epithet upon epithet, as in A. 393, with its 12 epithets; (Manitius gives some examples in Rhein. Mus. 45 (1890), 487). a) Titles of Christ: salvator, P. i, 115; C. i, 50; parens hominis, P. 13, 56 ; O splendor, O virtus Patris, factor orbis et poli, atque auctor horum moenium, P. 2, 413 ; sermo Patris, C. 3, 141 ; sancte, C. 2, 69 ; optime, P. 7, 79 ; inventor rutili luminis, dux bone, C. 5, i ; Nazarene, C. 7, i, etc.; nostri mediator et omnipo- tens, A. 174; O crucifer bone, lucisator, verbigena, etc., with 5 lines in the address, C. 3, i ; paternae gloriae splendor, P. 10, 468 ; cunctipotens, P. 7, 56; salutifer, P. 13, 91 ; Dominus, C. 3, 11 ; P. 3) 136; 7, 72.

The following list of words is designed to supplement the last edition of Harper's Latin Dictionary (New York, 1880), but chiefly to mike some corrections in references made to Prudentius. It is the conviction of the writer that all the references to Prudentius need a careful revision. The following list is by no means com- plete; some the most conspicuous variations from the readings of the editions of Arevalo, and of Dressel, are pointed out. No attempt has been made to note the many occurrences of usages both common and rare found in Prudentius, of which no mention has been made in the Dictionary. Nor have divergences of one, two, or three lines been noted.' ' Many of the references to certain lines in the Apotheosis may be found in Uressel's edition by subtracting 68 from the number of the line cited. 75 abigo, to drive away: pax inde abigit bellum, Ps. 632. accingo, in pass, (mid.?), to make one's self ready: accingere, nequissime, P. 10, 421. accipitrina, marked *, but cf.

I was born April 8, 1863, at New Berlin, Pa., and received my preparatory training^ at Woodward Higli School, Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1885 I graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University with the degree of A. B., and received the degree of A. M. in 1888. The following two years I taught Latin and German at the Little Rock University, and then taught for four years at the University of the Pacific as Adjunct Professor of Latin and Greek. In October, 1891, I entered Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, where I pursued courses in Latin, Greek and Sanskrit under Professors Warren, Gildersleeve and Bloon;field, to each of whom I beg leave to express my sincere thanks, not only for the instruction given, but also for their many acts of kindness, which were to me both an encouragement and an inspiration. •'His ego pro meritis quae piaemia digna rependam, Non habeo."— [/V«fl'. Contr. Sym. II, 750. But to Professor Warren especially, as my chief adviser, I feel under many obligations both for his constant kindness and for his words of counsel so freely and generously given. In June, 1892, I was appointed Fellow in Latin; in October, 1893, Fellow by Courtesy, and on June 14, 1894, I received the degree of Ph. D. -^^ THIS BOOK IS DUE ON tHfi LAST DATE STAMPED BELOW AN INITIAL FINE OF 25 CENTS WILL BE ASSESSED FOR FAILURE TO RETURN THIS BOOK ON THE DATE DUE.
