Frequently a coordinated pair (or longer sequence), of adjectives, nouns or other parts of speech, is split up by the insertion of a word or phrase to follow the first member of the coordination (see e.g. Devine and Stephens 2006: 586–91, calling the pattern ‘conjunct hyperbaton’; also Hofmann and Szantyr 1965: 693, Gray 2015: 65–6). A classic example in English is brave man and true. In Latin too it is often homo (or uir) that is the intrusive term, as at Cic. Har. resp. 28: Brogitaro Gallograeco, impuro homini ac nefario, Sest. 56 Brogitaro, impuro homini atque indigno illa religione (in both places with the same referent);1 see further e.g. for homo, Cic. Att. 5.15.3, 5.21.6, Fam. 1.9.19, Prov. cons. 15, etc., and for uir instead of homo, Cic. Fam. 7.18.1 esse fortem uirum et constantem, Fin. 2.80 et bonum uirum et comem et humanum fuisse, Livy 8.8.16 strenuus uir peritusque militiae. At Catull. 12.8–9 (est enim leporum | differtus puer ac facetiarum) puer has the same function.
