Note 81 — INTRODUCTION (continued 2)

With παραφθείρας cp. Cic. Brut. 83. 286 “atque Charisi [an imitator of Lysias] vult Hegesias esse similis, isque se ita putat Atticum, ut veros illos prae se paene agrestes putet. at quid est tam fractum, tam minutum, tam in ipsa, quam tamen consequitur, concinnitate puerile?” For the influence which Hegesias had on style as late as the time of Pausanias cp. J. G. Frazer’s Pausanias i. lxix. lxx., and Blass Die Rhythmen der asianischen und römischen Kunstprosa pp. 91 ff.
