Hi Leni,

I think you might not have got around to uploading the corrected file as the repeat:

At 5:52 : "as in the sentence".

is still lurking there. I'm sure Quintillian would have had an explanation for that

.

Best,

Barbara

Quintilian knows EVERYTHING!

It should be fixed this time.

Hi Leni,

Section 7 is all good. PL OK.

Section 8 is ready, where Quintilian is nice enough to recapitulate all he has done:

Section 9, in which we find the very famous quote that shows how prejudiced Romans were against foreigners.

Some seem to have been a bit snippy about Livy's provincialisms too.

At 6:38 the following words got cut out:

"some also include under this head".

Best,

Ah, thanks, Barbara! I will fix soon ^.^

The nerve of that Pollio saying anything bad about Livy. Hmpf!

Ooops. Duplicate post.

Section 10 is PL OK.

Interesting remarks about the propriety of words etc.

I studied Latin long ago and spent a lot of the time in lockdown trying to bring it back from the dead. So the reference to Horace's mouse - Horace accordingly imitated Virgil in both these points, when he wrote,

"The fruit shall be a paltry mouse."

brought back a distant memory. Would this be the line "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus" Probably not! but I'd be very pleased with myself if you think it is.

Best,

Barbara

Hey, Barbara

Thanks for the PLing, I already have the two next sections recorded, gotta find time to edit.

And, yes, that is exactly the citation I thought of myself!

Section 11 is ready!
