Note 413 — Chapter III · QUINTILIAN.
Reading edition
His fragments in Baehrens’s Poetæ Minores, vol. vi. pp. 344, 345, run to seventeen, none exceeding two lines, and only two so long. The most complete is this—
“Cygnus in auspiciis semper lætissimus ales:
Hunc optant nautæ, quia se non mergit in undis.”
This is certainly not much better than humilis, “tame” in phrase.
