¹ The same criticism applies to Keil's continebo. Kukula's ‘honore rogo contineas’ is ingenious, but is liable to this same objection, and also to criticism on metrical grounds. Pliny ends nearly all his letters with one of his rhythmical clausulas, enumerated by Baehrens, in his ‘Panegyricorum Latinorum Editionis Nouae Praefatio Maior,’ pp. 41–42Google Scholar. But the final clausula is entirely avoided by Pliny, unless in VII 20 2 the third syllable of uixerimus is to be regarded as short.
