Chapter XXVI: How Verse Can Resemble Prose (2)

=διάλεκτος.= =78= 16, =80= 3, 16, =88= 26, =126= 3, =160= 14, =168= 8,
=208= 19, =246= 7. _Language._ Lat. _sermo_. Sometimes used
with special reference to a ‘dialect,’ as in =80= 16, =88=
26 (so τὴν Ἀτθίδα γλῶτταν =80= 17 = τὴν Ἀτθίδα διάλεκτον _de
Demosth._ c. 41); and in other passages, with much the same
sense as λέξις (_elocutio_).—In =68= 9, =94= 10, 14, =96= 15,
=104= 1, the adjective =διαλεκτικός= means ‘pertaining to
dialectic.’

=διαλλαγή.= =126= 1. _Difference._ Lat. _differentia_. So
=διαλλάττειν=, =92= 19, =150= 2, =152= 29.

=διάλογος.= =198= 1, =264= 22. _Dialogue._ Lat. _dialogus_. Cp. Demetr.
p. 274.

=διαλύειν.= =132= 9, =272= 1. _To break up_, _to resolve_. Lat.
_dissolvere_. So =διάλυσις= =138= 4.

_diapente_, _quinque tonorum intervallum_. So =διὰ πασῶν= =126=
18, of the _octave_.

_depingere_, _distinguere_.

=διαρτᾶν.= =206= 6. _To separate_, _to break up_. Lat. _seiungere_. Cp.
_de Demosth._ c. 40 ἵνα δὲ μὴ δόξωμεν διαρτᾶν τὰς ἀκολουθίας.

=διασαλεύειν.= =102= 21, =230= 9, =240= 13. _To shake_ (as by storm),
_to disturb_. Lat. _perturbare_, _concutere_. In =230= 9 and
=240= 13 the reference is to troubling the smooth waters of the
cadences by sounds that jolt and jar.

=διασπᾶν.= =222= 19, =230= 24. _To dislocate._ Lat. _divellere_. Cp.
Demetr. p. 274, s.v. διασπασμός, and Quintil. ix. 4. 33 “tum
vocalium concursus; qui cum accidit, hiat et intersistit et
quasi laborat oratio.”

=διάστασις.= =206= 3, 5, =210= 18. _Distance._ Lat. _distantia_.

=διάστημα.= =126= 3, 16, =270= 12. _Interval._ Lat. _spatium_,
_intervallum_.

=διαστολή.= =278= 5, 7. _Division._ Lat. _divisio_. By διαστολαί (which
he opposes to metrical cola) Dionysius means the natural
divisions, or pauses, observed in prose in order to bring out
the sense and to secure good delivery, in accordance with the
requirements of grammar and rhetoric. Cp. the later use of
διαστολή for division by means of a comma—for _punctuation_, as
we should say.

=διατέμνειν.= =270= 13. _To cut up._ Lat. _discindere_, _concidere_.

=διατιθέναι.= =130= 5, 15, =134= 8, 11. _To affect._ Lat. _adficere_.

_differentia_.

=διαχάλασμα.= =230= 24. _Loosening._ Lat. _resolutio_. Cp. Epicrates

δολιχὸν τοῖς ἔτεσιν ἤδη τρέχει | τὰς ἁρμονίας τε διαχαλᾷ τοῦ
σώματος.

[Page 296]

=διελκυσμός.= =204= 3. _Struggle_, _tussle_. Lat. _luctatio_.

κατενεχθεὶς ὁ χορὸς ἀπολύει τὸν Δικαιόπολιν, i.e. “a tussle
(wrangle) arises, in which the Chorus is overborne and lets go
Dicaeopolis.”

=διέξοδος.= =150= 1. _Outlet_, _egress_. Lat. _exitus_.

=διερείδειν.= =220= 3. _To thrust apart._ Lat. _disiungere_. The object
of the thrusting apart (or separation) is to give each word
a firm position (as with the combination of strut and tie in
Caesar’s bridge over the Rhine, for which see E. Kitson Clark
in _Classical Review_ xxii. 144-147). So =διερεισμός= =222= 10,
=224= 14. In =202= 9 =διερείδεσθαι= = _conniti_.

=δίεσις.= =126= 20. _A quarter-tone_, or _any interval smaller
than a semitone_. Lat. _diesis_. As to the reason for the
disappearance of the quarter-tone from our modern musical
system see n. on =194= 7 (extract from Macran’s _Harmonics of
Aristoxenus_). See, further, L. and S., s.v. δίεσις and λεῖμμα.
The word occurs also in _de Lys._ c. 11 ὥστε μηδὲ τὴν ἐλαχίστην
ἐν τοῖς διαστήμασι δίεσιν ἀγνοεῖν. Suidas defines δίεσις as τὸ
ἐλάχιστον μέτρον τῶν ἐναρμονίων διαστημάτων. Cp. Vitruv. _de
Arch._ v. 3.

=διευκρινεῖν.= =208= 4. _To determine._ Lat. _diiudicare_.

6 ἦν δὲ [ὁ Ἀρκεσίλαος] ἐν τῇ λαλιᾷ διαστατικὸς τῶν ὀνομάτων,

normal measure of a long syllable is meant.

Lat. _disyllabus_. αἱ δισύλλαβοι (λέξεις) = _disyllables_.

_faculty_, _function_. Lat. _potentia_, _facultas_. Used, more
than once in this treatise, of ‘phonetic value’ or ‘effect.’

includi nequit_.

τούτοις γὰρ δὴ τά τε φωνήεντα πολλαχῇ συγκρουόμενα δῆλά ἐστι
καὶ τὰ ἡμίφωνα καὶ ἄφωνα, ἐξ ὧν στηριγμούς τε καὶ ἐγκαθισμοὺς

λόγος) καὶ ἁπλοῦς ἅμα, καὶ ἐξ ἀμφοῖν ἡδύς, καὶ οὔτε μάλα
ἰδιωτικὸς οὔτε μάλα σοφιστικός. See, further, D.H. pp. 189,
194, and Demetr. p. 276.

seems to refer to notches or incisions as made by carpenters in
dovetailing.]

=ἐγκύκλιος.= =262= 20. _Broad_, _general_ (of education). Lat. _orbis
doctrinae_. (Quintil. i. 10. 1.) Wilamowitz-Moellendorff
_Greek Historical Writing_ p. 15: “At latest in the school of
Posidonius—and I think a little earlier—the so-called ἐγκύκλιος
παιδεία, or ‘universal instruction,’ was formed into a system
which has continued to our own Universities in the form of ‘the
seven liberal arts.’ The study of history has no place in it;
astronomy, architecture, and medicine have.”

qualifier,’ Puttenham’s sixteenth-century _Arte of English
Poesie_). Lat. _ad nomen adiunctum_, _appositum_ (Quintil.
viii. 3. 43; 6. 29). The ἐπίθετον seems to be regarded
by Dionysius as a separate part of speech: cp. Steinthal
_Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft bei den Griechen und Römern_
ii. p. 251 “Was das ἐπίθετον, das Adjectivum betrifft: so ist
es im Alterthum vielleicht von Niemandem, höchstens aber nur
von dem einen oder andren Grammatiker zum besonderen Redetheil
gemacht.”

=ἐπικίνδυνος.= =80= 13. _Hazardous._ Lat. _periculosus_. _Aventuré_

than _risqué_.

_communis_.

_industria_.

=ἐπιτρόχαλος.= =180= 14. _Running_, _tripping_. Lat. _velox_,
_volubilis_. Cp. _de Demosth._ c. 40 ἐπιτρόχαλος δή τις γίνεται
καὶ καταφερὴς ἡ ῥύσις τῆς λέξεως, ὥσπερ κατὰ πρανοῦς φερόμενα
χωρίου νάματα μηδενὸς αὐτοῖς ἀντικρούοντος.—In Hom. _Il._ iii.
213 ἐπιτροχάδην = _trippingly_, _unfalteringly_.

=ἐπῳδός.= =194= 12, =278= 9. _After-song_, _coda_, _epode_. In this
sense (that of the part of a lyric ode which is sung after the
strophe and antistrophe) the word is feminine. In =194= 20, if
the masculine ὀλίγοις is rightly read, the special meaning of
ἐπῳδός will be _refrain_, _burden_: a meaning somewhat nearer
that of the Latin _epodos_.

=ἐρείδειν.= =142= 13. _To thrust._ Lat. _trudere_. So ἔρεισις =204= 4.
In =210= 16 ἐρείδεσθαι = _to be firmly planted_.

_Expression_, _style_. Lat. _elocutio_. The word appears in the
title of the treatise περὶ ἑρμηνείας which passes under the

=186= 18, =204= 8, =260= 20. Cp. Demetr. p. 282 (s.v. ἑρμηνεία
and ἑρμηνεύειν).

=ἐτυμολογία.= =160= 6. _Etymology_: with reference to Plato’s
_Cratylus_. For Latin equivalents cp. Quintil. i. 6. 28
“_etymologia_, quae verborum originem inquirit, a Cicerone
dicta est _notatio_, quia nomen eius apud Aristotelem invenitur
σύμβολον, quod est _nota_; nam verbum ex verbo ductum, id est
_veriloquium_, ipse Cicero, qui finxit, reformidat. sunt qui
vim potius intuiti _originationem_ vocent.”

=εὐγενής.= =136= 11, =178= 14, 21, =180= 3. _Well-born_, _noble_.
Lat. _generosus_. So =εὐγενεία= =192= 8. The εὐγενής is not
necessarily γενναῖος (Aristot. _Rhet._ ii. 15. 3).

=εὔγλωσσος.= =70= 2. _Pleasant on the tongue._ Lat. _suavis_.

=εὔγραμμος.= =230= 31, =246= 3. _Well-drawn_, _well-defined_. Lat.

=εὐγώνιος.= =210= 22. _Four-square._ Lat. _qui angulis rectis constat_,
_quadratus_.

=εὐέπεια.= =240= 5, 18, =246= 1, =268= 28. _Beauty of language._ Lat.
_verborum elegantia_. In this treatise Dionysius clearly uses
the word with special reference to his main subject—_beauty
of sound_, _euphony_. So also εὐεπής =218= 10, =222= 6, =224=
2, =228= 5, =230= 20; and εὐεπῶς =232= 11. In the _Classical
Review_ xviii. 19 the present writer has tried to show that,
even in an author so early as Sophocles (_Oed. Tyr._ 928),
the word εὐέπεια is to be understood in a rhetorical sense
(‘elegant language,’ ‘neatly-turned phrase’: with direct
reference to the employment of a ‘figure’ of rhetoric). But,
later, the word was used of ‘eloquence’ generally (as in
the well-known epigram of Simmias on the tomb of Sophocles
himself); and to this wider meaning Dionysius here gives a
special turn of his own.

=εὐήτριος.= =234= 12. _With fine thread_, _well-woven_. Lat. _bene
textus_.

=εὔκαιρος.= =134= 18, =196= 25. _Timely_. Lat. _opportunus_,
_tempestivus_. So =εὐκαίρως= =132= 3, =εὐκαιρίαν= =242= 3.

=εὐκαταφρόνητος.= =74= 12. _Contemptible_. Lat. _abiectus_, _humilis_.

=εὔκρατος.= =210= 1, =246= 11. _Well-blended_. Lat. _temperatus_. Cp.
_de Demosth._ c. 3 ἡ Θρασυμάχειος ἑρμηνεία, μέση τοῖν δυεῖν
καὶ εὔκρατος: Cic. _Orat._ 6. 21 “est autem quidam interiectus
inter hos medius et quasi temperatus,” etc.—Both in =210= 1 and
in =246= 11 the well-supported variant κοινήν is to be noted:
it may conceivably have originated in a gloss on εὔκρατον.—In
=220= 17 the similar adjective εὐκέραστος is used, though not
in reference to the three ἁρμονίαι.

=εὐλάβεια.= =234= 17. _Caution_. Lat. _cautio_. Used in the phrase δι’
εὐλαβείας ἔχει.

=εὔλογος.= =158= 12. _Reasonable_. Lat. _rationi consentaneus_. The
reference is to resemblances which are not ἄλογοι, but have a
natural basis and are grounded in reason.

=εὐμελής.= =130= 6, =134= 9. _Melodious_. Lat. _canorus_.—On the other
hand, =ἐμμελής= = _in melody_, _set to music_: =124= 10, =130=
6, =254= 2, 8, =270= 5; and so =ἐμμέλεια= =122= 21, =182= 2,
=266= 4.

=εὔμετρος.= =254= 6. _Metrical_; _possessing good metrical qualities_.
Lat. _metricus_.—On the other hand, =ἔμμετρος= = _in metre_:
=74= 4, =76= 1, =168= 8, =176= 1, 21, =254= 2, 4, 14, =270=
5. In =270= 10 ἐμμετρία has good manuscript authority. Cp.
Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 8. 1 τὸ δὲ σχῆμα τῆς λέξεως δεῖ μήτε
ἔμμετρον εἶναι μήτε ἄρρυθμον.

=εὔμορφος.= =84= 2, =144= 3, =162= 1. _Of beautiful form_. Lat.
_formosus_. So εὐμορφία =168= 4, =264= 16.

=εὐπάθεια.= =250= 4. _Pleasure_. Lat. _voluptas_. Plur. εὐπάθειαι =
Lat. _deliciae_.

=εὐπαίδευτος.= =228= 10. _Scholarly_, _cultured_. Lat. _doctus_.

=εὐπετής.= =218= 10, =222= 6. _Flowing easily_. Lat. _volubilis_.
[According to the reading of P in each passage. But εὐεπές
should probably be read.] Cp. εὔρους in =240= 21 and (according
to P) in =196= 25.

=εὐπρόφορος.= =132= 2. _Easy to pronounce_. Lat. _facilis pronuntiatu_.

=εὔρους.= =240= 21. _Flowing_, _copious_. Lat. _copiosus_. See also
s.v. εὐπετής, _supra_.

=εὔρυθμος.= =124= 10, =130= 8, =134= 9, =236= 3, =254= 6, 18.
_Rhythmical_. Lat. _numerosus_, _moderatus_ (Cic. _de Orat._
iii. 48. 184; ii. 8. 34). So =εὐρυθμία= =118= 11, =122= 21,
=182= 2, =254= 27: cp. Cic. _Orat._ 65. 220 “multum interest
utrum numerosa sit, id est, similis numerorum, an plane e
numeris constet oratio,” and Quintil. ix. 4. 56 “idque Cicero
optime videt, ac testatur frequenter, se, quod numerosum sit,
quaerere; ut magis non ἄρρυθμον, quod esset inscitum atque
agreste, quam ἔνρυθμον, quod poëticum est, esse compositionem
velit.” For =ἔνρυθμος= see =130= 8.

=εὐστομία.= =110= 18, =120= 21. _Beauty of sound_. Lat. _soni
suavitas_. Cp. Plato _Crat._ 405 D, 412 E.

=εὔσχημος.= =172= 6. _Graceful_. Lat. _decorus_, _speciosus_.

[Page 302]

=εὐτελής.= =78= 10, =136= 3. _Commonplace_, _cheap_, _vulgar_. Lat.
_vilis_. Cp. D.H. p. 193, and Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 7. 2.

=εὔτροχος.= =206= 14. _Running easily._ Lat. _celer_, _volubilis_. Cp.
γλῶσσα εὔτροχος = _a glib tongue_ (Eur. Bacch. 268).

=εὐτυχῶς.= =186= 3. _Happily_, _successfully_. Lat. _feliciter_. Cp.
=εὐτυχοῦσιν= =198= 5, and =ἀτυχεῖ= =198= 16.

=εὐφωνία.= =266= 4. _Euphony_, _musical sound_. Lat. _vocis dulcedo
s. suavitas_. So =εὔφωνος= =132= 1, =134= 9, =142= 10, =166=
7, 17, =230= 23, =234= 14. For a modern view of the effect
of euphony cp. the words of Jowett (_Dialogues of Plato_ i.
310): “In all the higher uses of language the sound is the
echo of the sense, especially in poetry, in which beauty and
expressiveness are given to human thoughts by the harmonious
composition of the words, syllables, letters, accents,
quantities, rhythms, rhymes, varieties and contrasts of all
sorts.” Hence, though no lover of the vicious style sometimes
termed “poetic prose,” Jowett says in his _Notes and Sayings_:
“If I were a professor of English, I would teach my men that
prose writing is a kind of poetry.”

=ἐφάμιλλος.= =116= 8. _Rivalling_, _a match for_. Lat. _aemulus_, _haud
impar_.

=ἡγεμών.= =168= 17. _Hegemon._ The metrical foot ᴗ ᴗ. Cp. _de Demosth._

ῥυθμὸν ἡγεμόνα.

_iucunditas_, _dulcedo_. Fr. _charme_, _agrément_, _attrait_.
Cp. =120= 20-24 τάττω δὲ ὑπὸ μὲν τὴν ἡδονὴν τήν τε ὥραν καὶ τὴν
χάριν καὶ τὴν εὐστομίαν καὶ τὴν γλυκύτητα καὶ τὸ πιθανὸν καὶ
πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα, ὑπὸ δὲ τὸ καλὸν τήν τε μεγαλοπρέπειαν καὶ τὸ
βάρος καὶ τὴν σεμνολογίαν καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα καὶ τὸν πίνον καὶ τὰ
τούτοις ὅμοια. See also Demetr. p. 284. So =ἡδύς= (_suavis_,
_iucundus_; _sweet_, _pleasing_, _agreeable_, _attractive_,
_charming_), =68= 6, =74= 13, etc.

=ἡδύνειν.= =130= 11, =146= 8, =148= 6, =160= 15, =164= 13. _To
sweeten_; _to delight_, _to charm_. Lat. _dulce reddere_;
_demulcere_.

=ἦθος.= =88= 12, =160= 17, =212= 11. _Character_. Lat. _mos_,
_indoles_. Cp. Demetr. p. 284, D.H. p. 193. See Jebb’s _Attic
Orators_ i. 30, 31 for _pathos_ and _ethos_ in Antiphon (with
reference to _C.V._ =212= 10). According to Aristotle’s
_Rhetoric_, a speech may be in, or out of, _character_ in
reference to (1) speaker, (2) audience, (3) subject.

=ἡμιστίχιον.= =274= 17. _A half-line_, _half-verse_. Lat.
_hemistichium_. Cp. Demetr. p. 284, s.v. ἡμίμετρον.

=ἡμιτελής.= =140= 4. _Half-perfect._ Lat. _semiperfectus_.

=ἡμιτόνιον.= =126= 5, 19. _A half-tone_, _semitone_. Lat. _hemitonium_.

_supra_.

[Page 303]

=θεατρικός.= =212= 16, =216= 19, =228= 8, =236= 11. _Theatrical_,
_showy_. Lat. _theatralis_. Cp. _de Demosth._ c. 25 ἐπὶ τὰ

παρισώσεις λέγω.

=θῆλυς.= =172= 7. _Effeminate._ Lat. _muliebris_, _effeminatus_. Cp.
Larue van Hook _Metaphorical Terminology of Greek Rhetoric_, p.
26, s.v. ἀνδρώδης.

=θηριώδης.= =146= 13. _Beast-like._ Lat. _ferinus_. The term will, of
course, apply to vipers as well as other animals: cp. τὸ θηρίον
in _Acta Apost_. xxviii. 4, and ἡ θηριακή (‘antidote against a
poisonous bite’), whence the word _treacle_.

=θορυβεῖν.= =122= 22. _To hiss off the stage._ Lat. _explodere_.

=θρυλιγμός.= =124= 1. _Harsh sound_, _false note_. Lat. _murmur

aspect._ Lat. _genus_, _aspectus_.

=ἰδίωμα.= =240= 23. _Peculiarity._ Lat. _proprietas_. Cp. Long. p. 278,
D.H. p. 193.

=ἰδιώτης.= =124= 2, =272= 19. _Amateur_, _uncultivated_. Lat.
_imperitus_. _Idiots_ long bore this meaning of ‘ordinary
persons’ in English: cp. Jeremy Taylor, “humility is a duty in
great ones as well as in idiots.”

=ἰθυφάλλιον.= =86= 8. _Ithyphallic poem._ Lat. _carmen ithyphallicum_.
A poem composed in the measure of the hymns to Priapus. Cp.
Masqueray _Abriss der griechischen Metrik_ pp. 191, 192.

=ἰσομεγέθης.= =270= 16. _Equal in size._ Lat. _par magnitudine_.

=ἰσχυρός.= =162= 23, =210= 17, =216= 16. _Strong_, _vigorous_. Lat.
_firmus_, _robustus_. In =216= 16 there may be some sense of
_nerveux_.—ἰσχύς occurs in =68= 19, =72= 19, etc.; ῥώμη in =84=
13; κράτος in =72= 14.

[Page 304]

=Ἰωνικός.= =86= 14. _Ionic._ Lat. _Ionicus_. The Ionic tetrameter is
meant. Cp. Masqueray, _op. cit._ pp. 137 ff.

=καθαρός.= =68= 4, =74= 18, =230= 14. _Pure._ Lat. _purus_. For
Greek and Latin authors as conscious purists, cp. Terence’s
“in hac est pura oratio,” or Dionysius’ τὸ καθαρεύειν τὴν
διάλεκτον (_de Lysia_ c. 2). See C. N. Smiley’s dissertation
on _Latinitas and Ἑλληνισμός_, and L. Laurand’s _Études sur le
style des discours de Cicéron_ pp. 19 ff. (the section headed
“Pureté de la langue”).

=καθολικός.= =134= 2. _General._ Lat. _universalis_.

=καινότης.= =232= 20. _Novelty._ Lat. _novitas_. Used in a condemnatory
sense: ‘innovation,’ ‘singularity,’ ‘eccentricity.’

=καινοτομεῖν.= =254= 23. _To break new ground._ Lat. _novare_. It is
a mining metaphor—from the opening of a new vein. Cp. _de
Thucyd._ c. 2.

=καινουργεῖν.= =200= 18. _To introduce new features._ Lat. _novitati
studere_.

=καιρός.= =132= 15, 20, 21. _Sense of measure_, _tact_, _taste_. See S.
H. Butcher’s _Harvard Lectures on Greek Subjects_, pp. 117-120,
for καιρός as a word without any single or precise equivalent
in any other language. Cp. =εὔκαιρος= =134= 18, =196= 25;
=εὐκαίρως= =132= 3; =εὐκαιρία= =242= 3.

=κακόφωνος.= =132= 1, =164= 11. _Ill-sounding._ Lat. _male sonans_. Cp.
Demetr. p. 286.

=καλλιεπής.= =180= 3. _Choice in diction._ Lat. _suaviloquens_.
It is the word used of Agathon in Aristoph. _Thesm._ 49
(_Classical Review_ xviii. 20). Cp. D.H. p. 193, with the
passages there quoted: to which may be added Plato _Apol._ 17
B κεκαλλιεπημένους λόγους, and (for ἔπος only) Thucyd. iii. 67
λόγοι ἔπεσι κοσμηθέντες and ii. 41 ὅστις ἔπεσι μὲν τὸ αὐτίκα
τέρψει.

=καλλιλογία.= =164= 20, =166= 12. _Elegant language._ Lat. _venusta
elocutio_. So καλλιλογεῖν of ‘verbal embellishment,’ =80= 12.

=καλλιρήμων.= =74= 18, =166= 7. _Couched in elegant phrase._ Lat.
_elegantibus ornatus verbis_.

=κάλλος.= =78= 19, =84= 10, =94= 2, =160= 13, =172= 16, =182= 5, =256=
5. _Beauty_ (of language). Lat. _pulchritude_. Cp. Aristot.
_Rhet._ iii. 2. 13.

=καλός.= =118= 23, =120= 22, =136= 8, =160= 13, 14, =178= 15, _passim_.
_Beautiful._ Lat. _pulcher_. The word is inadequately
translated by ‘beautiful’; and ‘fine’ has unfortunate
associations of its own, especially in relation to writing.
‘Noble’ would often be nearer the mark, but that rendering
is needed for γενναῖος and εὐγενής (cp. =136= 13, =178= 15,
etc.). In English we lack a single word to denote that _noble
beauty_ which is sometimes seen in a human face, and which
suggests an ultimate harmony of things. The meaning of καλός,
as distinguished from ἡδύς (in reference to composition), may
be gathered from such passages as =68= 5 (τῷ σεμνῷ τὸ ἡδύ) and
=120= 22-24 (see under ἡδονή, p. 302 _supra_). The antithesis
is not, as has sometimes been thought, that of pleasure to the
_ear_ and beauty to the _mind_. In this treatise Dionysius is
dealing not with subject matter (ὁ πραγματικὸς τόπος) but with
expression, and that chiefly from the euphonic point of view.
καλός includes certain forms of pleasure—of the ear as well as
of the mind: cp. Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 1405 b and Demetr. _de
Eloc._ § 177 ὡρίσατο δ’ αὐτὰ (καλὰ ὀνόματα) Θεόφραστος οὕτως·
κάλλος ὀνόματός ἐστι τὸ πρὸς τὴν ἀκοὴν ἢ πρὸς τὴν ὄψιν ἡδύ, ἢ
τὸ τῇ διανοίᾳ ἔντιμον. Cp., further, _gravitas_)(_suavitas_,
Cic. _Or._ §§ 62, 182; _honestus_)(_iucundus_, Quintil. ix. 4.
146; ἡδεῖαν καὶ μεγαλοπρεπῆ Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 12.

[Page 305]

=κατακεκλασμένος.= =184= 17. _Broken_, _nerveless_. Lat. _fractus_,
_mollis_. Fr. _faible_, _maigre_, _rompu_. Cp. κατακλωμένους,
=262= 12, where Dionysius seems to indicate the broken (but by
no means nerveless) foot

– ᴗ – –
(τοσαύ)την ὑπάρξαι.

So Long. _de Subl._ xli. 1 μικροποιοῦν δ’ οὐδὲν οὕτως ἐν τοῖς
ὑψηλοῖς, ὡς ῥυθμὸς κεκλασμένος λόγων καὶ σεσοβημένος, οἷον δὴ
πυρρίχιοι καὶ τροχαῖοι καὶ διχόρειοι, τέλεον εἰς ὀρχηστικὸν
συνεκπίπτοντες. Cp. Demetr. p. 287.

=καταλαμβάνειν.= =230= 4, 12. _To check._ Lat. _cohibere_, _premere_.
Usener’s insertion of σιωπῇ in =230= 12 is perhaps unnecessary.
Herod. v. 21 ὁ τῶν Περσέων θάνατος οὕτω καταλαμφθεὶς ἐσιγήθη
(i.e. “Persarum caedes ita silentio compressa est”) does not
decide the point.

=κατάληξις.= =178= 20, =184= 9, =258= 13. _Final syllable._ Lat.
_syllaba terminalis_. With =178= 20 cp. =178= 13 καὶ συλλαβὴν
ὑφ’ ἧς τελειοῦται τὸ κῶλον. See also Long. _de Subl._ xli.
2 τὰς ὀφειλομένας καταλήξεις, and Demetr. p. 287 (s.v.
καταληκτικός).

=κατάλογος.= =168= 1. _Catalogue._ Lat. _enumeratio_. The Homeric
‘Catalogue’ (in _Il._ ii.) is meant.

=καταμετρεῖν.= =174= 24, =182= 16. _To measure._ Lat. _emetiri_. Cp.
_de Demosth._ c. 39.

=καταπυκνοῦν.= =162= 4, 16. _To pack._ Lat. _stipare_. Fr. _charger_.

=κατασκευή.= =70= 4, =156= 13, =160= 19, =164= 12. _Artistic
treatment._ Lat. _ornatus_. The Latin _apparatus_, and French
_apprêt_, will also give something of the meaning. Cp.
=κατασκευάζειν= =106= 3, =140= 9, =154= 3, 14, 17, =158= 1, 4,
etc. See also D.H. p. 194, under κατασκευή (with the passages
there quoted) and κατασκευάζειν.

=κατασπᾶν.= =204= 24. _To pull down._ Lat. _detrahere_. Cp. the use of
κατεσπευσμένα and κατεσπεῦσθαι in Long. _de Subl._ xix. 2, xl.
4. [It is possible that κατεσπεῦσθαι should be read in _C.V._
=204= 24.]

=κατάστασις.= =200= 8. _State._ Lat. _condicio_.

=καταφορά.= =204= 19. _Downrush._ Lat. _decursus_.

=καταχλευάζειν.= =264= 9. _To jeer._ Lat. _cavillari_, _irridere_.

=κατάχρησις.= =78= 16. _Catachresis._ Lat. _abusio_. A definition is
given by Quintil. viii. 6. 34 “eo magis necessaria κατάχρησις,
quam recte dicimus _abusionem_, quae non habentibus nomen suum
accommodat, quod in proximo est: sic _Equum divina Palladis
arte Aedificant_.” Cp. Cic. _Orat._ 27. 94, where the same
Latin equivalent is given, though not the same description
of the figure: “Aristoteles autem translationi et haec ipsa
subiungit et abusionem, quam κατάχρησιν vocant, ut cum minutum
dicimus animum pro parvo, et abutimur verbis propinquis, si
opus est, vel quod delectat vel quod decet” (cp. _Auct. ad
Her._ iv. c. 33). In Cic. _Acad._ ii. 47. 143, “Quid ergo
Academici appellamur? an abutimur gloria nominis?” the meaning
probably is: ‘do we use the glorious name of ‘Academic’ in an
unnatural way?’

[Page 306]

=κατεσπουδασμένος.= =156= 7. _Earnest._ Lat. _anxius_, _instans_. Cp.
Herod. ii. 174.

=κεραννύναι.= =218= 7, =240= 17, =246= 12, =248= 17, etc. _To mix_, _to
temper_. Lat. _commiscere_, _temperare_. Cp. the adjectives
εὔκρατος and εὐκέραστος, p. 301 _supra_. The general sense
in =248= 17 is, ‘qui aient su mieux qu’eux faire un heureux
mélange des couleurs.’

=κερατοειδής.= =146= 12. _Sounding like a horn._ Lat. _sonus veluti
corneus_. κερατοειδεῖς ἤχους = ‘sounds like (the sounds of)
a horn’: cp. _Hymn. Hom. in Merc._ 81 μυρσινοειδέας ὄζους,
‘branches like (the branches of) myrtle.’

=κεφάλαιον.= =68= 18, =120= 25, =130= 14, =136= 7, =160= 8. _Heading_,
_topic_, _sum and substance_. Lat. _caput_, _summa_. So
=κεφαλαιωδῶς=, =112= 21, _under heads_.

=κηλεῖν.= =124= 13. _To charm._ Lat. _permulcere_.

=κινεῖν.= =146= 8, =194= 12. _To excite_, _to disturb_. Lat. _movere_.
So κίνησις, _movement_, =124= 8, =160= 3, =244= 20; and
=κινητικός=, =158= 12.

=κλέπτειν.= =196= 17. _To cheat_, _to disguise_. Lat. _dissimulare_,
_obtegere_. Cp. Demetr. p. 288.

=κοινός.= =120= 13, =122= 14, =148= 14, =164= 22, =200= 7, =210= 1
(according to one reading), =236= 11, =252= 28. _Common_,
_mixed_, _general_. Lat. _communis_. For the meaning ‘in
general terms’ cp. _de Dinarcho_ c. 8 λέγω δὲ ταῦτα οὐκ ἐν
τῷ καθόλου τρόπῳ, ὡς μηδὲν τούτων κατορθοῦντος, ἀλλ’ ἐν τῷ
κοινοτέρῳ καὶ ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ.

=κολακικός.= =236= 9. _Alluring._ Lat. _blandus_.

=κόμμα.= =270= 15, =276= 2. _Short clause_, _phrase_. Lat. _incisum_
(Cic. _Orat._ 62. 211; Quintil. ix. 4. 22). Fr. _incise_.
Cp. Demetr. p. 288; Quintil, ix. 4. 122 “_incisum_ (quantum
mea fert opinio) erit sensus non expleto numero conclusus,
plerisque pars membri”; _C.V._ =270= 15 κόμματα ...
βραχύτερα κώλων. So κομμάτιον =274= 14, =276= 6. [The terms
_comma_, _colon_, and _period_ are now specially applied to
punctuation.] For illustrations of κῶλα and κόμματα drawn from
Cicero see Laurand’s _Études_ p. 128. In _de Demosth._ c. 39
the adjective κομματικῶς is found: ἀποιήτως δέ πως καὶ ἀφελῶς
καὶ τὰ πλείω κομματικῶς (i.e. per brevia commata et incisa)
κατεσκευάσθαι βούλεται.

=κόπτειν.= =132= 4, =198= 7. _To smite upon_, _to weary_. Lat.
_obtundere_. Used in reference to the ear, when it receives
‘hammer-strokes of sound.’

=κόρος.= =124= 18, =132= 11, =192= 18, =196= 18, =252= 25. _Satiety._
Lat. _satietas_ (Cic. _Orat._ 65. 219). In using this word
Dionysius often has in mind Pindar _Nem._ vii. 52 (κόρον δ’
ἔχει καὶ μέλι καὶ τὰ τέρπν’ ἄνθε’ ἀφροδίσια): a passage which
he quotes in _Ep. ad Pomp._ c. 3.

=κορυφή.= =248= 4. _Top_, _head_. Lat. _caput_. Cp. κορυφαῖος
(_headman_) and ἀκόρυφος (=230= 31).

[Page 307]

=κορωνίς.= =94= 4. _Colophon_, _finis_. Lat. _coronis_. μέχρι κορωνίδος
διελθεῖν = ‘usque ad calcem perlegere,’ ‘from title to
colophon.’

=κρᾶσις.= =130= 25, =154= 10, =220= 12. _A mixing_, _blending_. Lat.
_mistura_.

=κράτιστος.= =70= 1, =120= 18, =134= 20, =142= 5, =150= 10, =160= 5,
=162= 3, 15, =176= 15, =196= 10, =206= 21, =214= 16, =250= 16,
=260= 21. _Strongest_, _finest_, _best_. Lat. _fortissimus_,
_optimus_. It is not always easy to determine in these passages
whether the meaning is general or special. But in =162= 3
κρατίστοις is opposed to μαλακωτάτοις. When he wishes to be
quite explicit, Dionysius can use ἰσχυρός (=162= 23), or
βέλτιστος.

=κράτος.= =70= 5, =72= 14, etc. _Force_, _power_. Lat. _vis_, _robur_.

=κρητικός.= =174= 11, =260= 23, =262= 9. _Cretic._ The metrical foot
– ᴗ –. For the cretic foot cp. Cic. _de Orat._ iii. 47. 183
and _Or._ 64. 218; Quintil. ix. 4. 81, 97, 104, 107. In the
Epitome c. 17 the equivalent term ἀμφίμακρος is used instead
of κρητικός. For the excessive use in prose of the cretic (as,
indeed, of any other distinctly metrical) rhythm cp. Walter C.
Summers in _Classical Quarterly_ ii. 173.

=κριτήριον.= =250= 7. _Criterion._ Lat. _iudicium_.

=κροῦσις.= =124= 8, =144= 1, =268= 7. _Stroke_; _note_ (_of an
instrument_). Lat. _pulsus_.

=κτενίζειν.= =264= 22. _To comb._ Lat. _pectere_. Parallel metaphors
from Latin literature are quoted in Larue van Hook’s
_Metaphorical Terminology of Greek Rhetoric_ p. 23.

=κυκλικός.= =174= 4. _Cyclic._ Lat. _cyclicus_. Goodell (_Greek Metric_
pp. 168 ff.) points out that the much-debated question of
‘cyclic’ or ‘three-timed’ anapaests and dactyls hinges on this
passage (=174= 4), together with part of c. 20 (=204= 16-=206=
16). As he says (p. 175 _ibid._), “It is clear that Dionysius
does not regard even these irrational dactyls as three-timed
merely; the nearest approach to that view is in the remark that
some are not much longer than trochees. But that implies that
even the briefest are somewhat longer than trochees.” Goodell
also suggests (p. 181) that κυκλικός in Dionysius corresponds
to στρογγύλος in a passage of Aristides Quintilianus. Clearly
the elaborate structure of the ‘cyclic dactyl’ cannot stand
securely upon so slight a foundation as these statements of
Dionysius. See further in Goodell (_op. cit._), and also in L.
Vernier _Traité de métrique grecque et latine_ c. 14 pp. 169 ff.

=κύκλος.= =198= 6, =212= 14, =246= 3. _A circle_, _a round_. Lat.
_orbis_, _ambitus_.

=κύριος.= =84= 5, =208= 24, =246= 11. _Accredited_, _regular_,
_proper_. Lat. _proprius_. Fr. _propre_ (in _le mot propre_).
Cp. D.H. p. 195, Demetr. p. 289; and (in addition to the
passages there quoted) Quintil. i. 5. 71 “_propria_ sunt verba,
cum id significant, in quod primo denominata sunt: _translata_,
cum alium natura intellectum, alium loco praebent.” The
meaning ‘proper,’ ‘literal,’ is well illustrated by =208= 24,
where κυρίοις (‘used in the ordinary sense’) is opposed to
μεταφορικοῖς.

=κῶλον.= =72= 6, 9, =104= 9, =110= 10, =176= 2, =178= 6, 7, =194= 13,
22, =218= 18, =230= 16, =234= 20, 21, =276= 2, 6, 14, =278=
6, etc., _passim_. _Member_, _clause_, _group of words_. Lat.
_membrum_. Fr. _membre de phrase_. Cp. Demetr. p. 289, and
Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 9. 5 κῶλον δ’ ἐστὶν τὸ ἕτερον μόριον
ταύτης [sc. περιόδου], Quintil. ix. 4. 22 “_membra_, quae
κῶλα (dicuntur),” Long, _de Subl._ xl. 1 ἡ τῶν μελῶν [this
illustrates the metaphor in κῶλον] ἐπισύνθεσις. For the
length of the κῶλον cp. Sandys’ _Orator of Cicero_ p. 222 and
Laurand’s _Études_ pp. 127-9; and see, generally, A. du Mesnil
_Über die rhetorischen Kunstformen, Komma, Kolon, Periode_.

[Page 308]

=κωμῳδεῖν.= =264= 9. _To scoff._ Lat. _iocari_, _illudere_.

=λαμβάνειν.= =100= 26, =104= 17, 20, =106= 18, 19, =108= 2, 5, 8,
_passim_. _To take_, _to employ_. Lat. _sumere_, _adhibere_.

=λεαίνειν.= =130= 19, =164= 12. _To smooth_, _to fall softly on_. Lat.
_polire_, _mulcere_.

=λεῖος.= =132= 1, =154= 12, =162= 23, =222= 5, =228= 4, =234= 14.
_Smooth._ Lat. _levis_. So =λειότης= (_douceur_) =240= 6. Cp.
Demetr. _de Eloc._ § 176 παρὰ δὲ τοῖς μουσικοῖς λέγεταί τι
ὄνομα λεῖον, καὶ ἕτερον τὸ τραχύ, καὶ ἄλλο εὐπαγές, καὶ ἄλλ’
ὀγκηρόν. λεῖον μὲν οὖν ἐστιν ὄνομα τὸ διὰ φωνηέντων ἢ πάντων ἢ
διὰ πλειόνων, οἷον Αἴας, τραχὺ δὲ οἷον βέβρωκεν.

=λεκτικός.= =66= 7, =96= 9. _Relating to style or expression._
Lat. _qui ad elocutionem spectat_. ὁ λεκτικὸς τόπος = the
province of expression, as distinguished from ὁ πραγματικὸς
τόπος.—=λεκτικῶς=, =258= 3, = _after the manner of prose_.

=λέξις.= =66= 16, =70= 3, 11, 14, =74= 3, 8, =84= 15 (‘passages’),
=88= 22, 25, =90= 4, =110= 9, =112= 6, _passim_. _Speech
or language_; _utterance_; _diction_; _style_; _word_,
_expression_, _passage_. Lat. _dictio_, _elocutio_, _verbum
s. locutio_. For the broad meaning ‘word’ or ‘phrase,’ common
in Greek writers of the later periods, cp. =66= 16, =124= 23,
=128= 5, =168= 10, =202= 22, =206= 6, =268= 19.

=λῆρος.= =90= 20. _Trumpery._ Lat. _ineptiae_. Cp. _de Demosth._ c. 25
καὶ διὰ τῶν λήρων τούτων κοσμεῖ τὴν φράσιν.

=λιτός.= =76= 8. _Trifling._ Lat. _exiguus_, _humilis_. For λιτός =
_plain_, _simple_, cp. Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 16 ποικίλος καὶ οὐ
λιτός.

=λογάδην.= =210= 21. _Casually._ Lat. _fortuito_. Dionysius has in mind
not _selected_ stones, but stones _collected_ (picked up) as
they lie. Cp. Joseph. _Antiqq. Iud._ iv. 8. 5 (Naber) καὶ βωμὸς
εἷς ἐκ λίθων μὴ κατειργασμένων ἀλλὰ λογάδην συγκειμένων (i.e.
_collecticiis_), and Thucyd. iv. 31 καὶ γάρ τι καὶ ἔρυμα αὐτόθι
ἦν παλαιὸν λίθων λογάδην πεποιημένον, vi. 66 καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ Δάσκωνι
ἔρυμά τι, ᾗ εὐεφοδώτατον ἦν τοῖς πολεμίοις, λίθοις λογάδην καὶ
ξύλοις διὰ ταχέων ὤρθωσαν.

=λογικός.= =146= 14. _Rational._ Lat. _rationalis_. This passage
(θηριώδους γὰρ καὶ ἀλόγου μᾶλλον ἢ λογικῆς ἐφάπτεσθαι δοκεῖ
φωνῆς ὁ συριγμός) helps to illustrate the use of λογικός in
=130= 3 (δεδειγμένης τῆς διαφορᾶς ᾗ διαφέρει μουσικὴ λογικῆς),
where singing and ordinary speech (the sounds of music and
those of spoken language) are contrasted.

=λογογράφος.= =158= 1. _Prose-writer._ Lat. _solutae orationis
scriptor_. So perhaps Aristot. _Rhet._ ii. 11 καὶ ὧν ἔπαινοι
καὶ ἐγκώμια λέγονται ἢ ὑπὸ ποιητῶν ἢ λογογράφων, and Thucyd.
i. 21 καὶ οὔτε ὡς ποιηταὶ ὑμνήκασι ... οὔτε ὡς λογογράφοι
ξυνέθεσαν κτλ.: though in both these passages ‘chroniclers’
may be specially meant. For the meaning ‘professional
speech-writer’ cp. Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 12. 2. In _C.V._ =154=
17 συγγραφέων is found in the same sense (‘prose-writers’) as
λογογράφοι in =158= 1.

[Page 309]

=λογοείδεια.= =272= 15. _Prose-character._ Lat. _color prosaicus_.
Fr. _la couleur prosaïque_. The word is well explained and
illustrated by a scholiast on Hephaestion (Westphal _Scriptores
Metrici Graeci_ i. 167): πολιτικὸν δέ ἐστι τὸ ἄνευ πάθους ἢ
τρόπου πεποιημένον, οἷον

ἵππους τε ξανθὰς ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα [_Il._ xi. 680],

ὅπερ ταὐτόν ἐστι τῷ λογοειδεῖ.—In Demetr. _de Eloc._ § 41 τὸ
λογικόν is found in the same sense.

=λόγος.= =64= 13, =66= 5, 8, =70= 10, =72= 7, 10, 14, =74= 6, =76=
2, =84= 14, 16, =92= 23, =94= 2, _passim_. _Discourse_,
_language_. Lat. _oratio_, _sermo_. Often used of _prose_, as
opposed to poetry: cp. =84= 14, 16, =108= 11 (λόγοις πεζοῖς),
=118= 22, =154= 2 (λόγοις ψιλοῖς), =166= 4, =208= 6, =270=
17, =272= 9, 13, 17, 19, 28, =278= 6, 9 (where the meaning
probably is ‘a piece of continuous prose’), =280= 18; so καὶ
ἐν ποιήσει καὶ ἐν λόγοις (Aristot. _Rhet._ iii. 2. 7; further
references in Bonitz’ _Index Aristotelicus_ p. 433). In many
passages (e.g. =66= 5, =210= 8, =218= 1, =248= 4) ‘writing’
or ‘literature’ (cp. ἡ τῶν λόγων φιλοσοφία = ‘the study of
literature,’ _Rhet. ad Alex._ c. 1) will be a possible modern
equivalent, though we must always bear in mind the Greek point
of view, that what we call ‘literature’ was something conveyed
by the living voice,—something spoken or read aloud.—See also
s.v. ἄμετρος p. 287 _supra_.

=Λύδιος.= =196= 2. _Lydian._ Lat. _Lydius_. Cp. Monro’s _Modes of
Ancient Greek Music_, passim.

=μαλακός.= =132= 1, =154= 11, =162= 3, etc. _Soft._ Lat. _mollis_. So
=μαλθακός= =90= 20. In some passages (=90= 20, =170= 9) the
word suggests the idea of ‘lacking in backbone,’ ‘unmanly,’
‘effeminate.’ Fr. _délicat_, or (rather) _mou_.

=μεγαλοπρεπής.= =136= 12, =166= 2, 18, etc. _Grand_, _impressive_,
_splendid_. Lat. _magnificus_. Fr. _magnifique_. So
μεγαλοπρέπεια (_la grandeur_), =120= 22, =164= 20.

=μέγεθος.= =172= 11, =174= 19. _Grandeur_, _elevation_. Lat.
_magnitudo_, _sublimitas_. Fr. _ampleur_. Cp. Demetr. p. 292.

=μεθαρμόζειν.= =112= 2. _To arrange differently_, _to re-arrange_. Lat.
_aliter componere_.

=μειοῦν.= =128= 18, =152= 20. _To lessen_, _to curtail_. Lat.
_minuere_. Fr. _retrancher_. So =μείωσις= =110= 15. The word
does not, in the _C.V._, bear the special sense of _extenuare_.

=μελικός.= =130= 7, =252= 21, =254= 21, =278= 4. _Melodious_, _lyric_.
Lat. _lyricus_. In English ‘lyric’ is a more generally
intelligible rendering than ‘melic,’ though less exact. “To
the writers of the Alexandrian age, who introduced and gave
currency to the expression, ‘lyric’ meant primarily what the
name imports—poetry sung to the accompaniment of the lyre....
More appropriate than ‘lyric,’ as an exact and comprehensive
designation of all poetry that was sung to a musical
accompaniment, is ‘melic,’ the term in vogue among the Greeks
of the classic ages,” Weir Smyth _Greek Melic Poets_ pp. xvii,
xviii. Apparently the _adjectives_ μελικός and λυρικός are both
late.

[Page 310]

=μελιχρός.= =70= 2. _Honey-sweet._ Lat. _mellitus_. Cp. _de Demosth._
c. 48 ἔν τε ταῖς μεταβολαῖς τοτὲ μὲν τὸ ἀρχαιοπρεπὲς καὶ
αὐστηρόν, τοτὲ δὲ τὸ μελιχρὸν καὶ φιλόκαινον ἐμφαινόμενον.

=μέλος.= =204= 3, _limb_: =122= 24, =126= 21 (_bis_), =194= 7, 13,
_tune_, _melody_: =120= 18, =122= 11, =130= 4, 11, _melodious
effect_, _tunefulness_: =92= 22, =120= 26, =126= 23, =154=
2, =192= 21, =194= 5, =250= 11, 16, =254= 5, 8, 15, =272=
10, =278= 6, =280= 18, _words set to music_, _song_, _aria_,
_chant_, _lay_, _lyric_. Lat. _cantus_, _carmen_, etc.
Similarly also =μελοποιία= =214= 3: =μελοποιός= =194= 18, =236=
16, 22, =248= 13, =270= 22, =272= 5: =μελῳδεῖν= =126= 18, =128=
5: μελῳδία =122= 16, =194= 8, =196= 2.

=μερίζειν.= =144= 22, =220= 25. _To divide._ Lat. _distribuere_.

=μέρος.= =68= 6, =70= 14, =96= 1, etc. _Part._ Lat. _pars_. τὰ τῆς
λέξεως μέρη = ‘the parts of speech,’ =70= 14, =96= 14, etc. See
also μόριον, p. 311.

=μέσος.= =148= 18, =150= 11, =210= 6, 7, 8, =236= 2, =246= 10.
_Middle_, _intermediate_, _average_. Lat. _medius_. So =μέσως=
=146= 10, and =μεσότης= =246= 15 (_bis_) (with reference to
Aristotle’s use of the word for _le juste milieu_), =248= 11.

=μεταβάλλειν.= =194= 1, 2. _To change_, _to vary_. Lat. _mutare_. As
its passive, =μετακειμένην= =266= 1.

=μεταβολή.= =120= 19, =122= 12, =124= 11, 25, =134= 18, 19. _Variety._
Lat. _varietas_, _diversitas_. The object of μεταβολή, as
conceived by Dionysius, is to diversify style in order to avoid
a monotonous uniformity. Variety is one of the chief essentials
of good writing, not only in Greek but in all other languages.

=μεταλαμβάνειν.= =132= 7. _To interchange._ Lat. _commutare_.

=μεταπτωτικός.= =140= 20. _Variable._ Lat. _mutabilis_. So
=μεταπίπτειν= =96= 17, =250= 7.

=μετασκευή.= =104= 19, =108= 9, =110= 16 (e coni. Schaef.), =114= 10.
_Modification._ Lat. _mutatio_. So =μετασκευάζειν= =110= 6. Cp.
text in =110= 16 with =104= 19, =108= 9.

=μεταφορά.= =78= 15. _Transference_, _metaphor_. “The figure of
transport,” Puttenham. Lat. _translatio_.

=μετέωρος.= =148= 23. _Upper._ Lat. _superior_ (τοὺς μετεώρους ὀδόντας
= _dentes superiores_).

=μετοχή.= =72= 1. _Participle._ Lat. _participium_. Cp. D.H. p. 196.

=μετρικός.= =140= 11, =172= 2, =174= 22, =176= 7, =218= 19. _Metrical._
Lat. _metricus_. =172= 2 and =174= 22 οἱ μετρικοί = ‘the
metrists,’ ‘the theorists on metre’: cp. οἱ ῥυθμικοί =172= 20.

=μέτριος.= =132= 8, =150= 9, =214= 12, =222= 26, =230= 22, =234= 22,
=246= 13. _Moderate_, _fair_. Lat. _aequus_.

=μέτρον.= =74= 5, =84= 16, =88= 6, 8, =92= 22, =118= 22, =120= 26,
=172= 17, _passim_. _Measure_, _metre_, _verse_, _line_.
Lat. _metrum_, _versus_. In Aristot. _Poet._ iv. 7 metres
are described as sections of rhythm (τὰ γὰρ μέτρα ὅτι μόρια
τῶν ῥυθμῶν ἐστι φανερόν): that is, they are ‘measures,’ or
‘verses’; ‘parts of rhythm,’ which is indefinite and never
comes to an end—μέτρον being rhythm cut, as it were, into
definite lengths (Cope _Introduction to Aristotle’s Rhetoric_
p. 387). When contrasted with μέλη (cp. Plato _Gorg._ 502 C
τό τε μέλος—‘the music’—καὶ τὸν ῥυθμὸν καὶ τὸ μέτρον), μέτρα
seems to denote the non-lyrical metres generally (hexameters,
iambic trimeters, etc.): see =92= 22, =120= 26, =192= 21, and
especially =270= 18-23.

[Page 311]

=μῆκος.= =150= 22, =154= 6, =204= 2, =224= 15, =264= 4. _Length._ Lat.
_longitudo_. So =μηκύνειν= (_to lengthen_) =132= 7, =152= 24,
=224= 8, 13, =246= 8. In =246= 8 (and also in =276= 9, where
P gives μηκύνειν and MV give μηκύνειν τὸν λόγον) μηκύνειν is
used absolutely (= μακρηγορεῖν: cp. Aristoph. _Lys._ 1131
πόσους εἴποιμ’ ἂν ἄλλους, εἴ με μηκύνειν δέοι;). In =132= 7
the meaning is ‘to prolong, or continue, in the same case with
similar terminations’: just as Dionysius himself, inadvertently
no doubt, repeats -ων in =132= 9, 10.

=μῖγμα.= =208= 18. _Mixture_, _blend_. Lat. _mistura_. Cp. =μῖξις=
=130= 25, =166= 9; and also D.H. p. 197. It is possible that
Dionysius may have written μεῖγμα, as in earlier Greek: in _Ep.
ad Pomp._ c. 2 it is to be noticed that the manuscripts give
δεῖγμα, where the sense clearly calls for μεῖγμα.

=μικρόκομψος.= =90= 20. _Affected_, _finical_. Lat. _bellulus_.

=μικρολογία.= =266= 11. _Trifling_, _pettiness_. Lat. _rerum minutarum
cura_. In Theophrastus’ _Characters_ the word is used of
attention to trifles on the part of the mean or parsimonious
man. Cp. also Demetr. p. 293, s.v. μικρολογεῖν.

=μικρόφωνος.= =142= 9. _Small-voiced_, _non-resonant_. Lat. _qui vocem
habet exiguam_, _sonum exiliorem_.

=μίμημα.= =160= 2. _Imitation._ Lat. _imitamentum_. [F.’s reading here
is μηνύματα, ‘expressions which indicate’: cp. _de Demosth._ c.
51 init.]

=μιμητικός.= =158= 4, 11, =200= 11. _Imitative._ Lat. _ad imitandum
aptus_. So =μιμητικῶς= =202= 1.

=μνημεῖον.= =266= 7. _Memorial._ Lat. _monumentum_.

=μολοττός.= =172= 1, =184= 4. _Molossus._ Lat. _molossus_. The metrical
foot – – –.

=μονογράμματος.= =152= 20. _Consisting of a single letter._ Lat. _qui
unius est litterae_.

=μονόμετρος.= =270= 23. _Consisting of one metre._ Lat. _monometer_.
Applicable to poems, like the _Iliad_ and the _Aeneid_, which
are written throughout in a single metre.

=μονοσύλλαβος.= =168= 11, =202= 14. _Monosyllabic._ Lat. _monosyllabus_.

=μόριον.= =70= 10, =96= 3, =98= 6, =106= 11, 12, _passim_. _Part_,
especially _part of speech_. Lat. _pars_, _pars orationis_.
The meaning ‘part of speech’ appears in such passages as ποῖον
ὄνομα ἢ ῥῆμα ἢ τῶν ἄλλων τι μορίων (=106= 12), τὰ μόρια τοῦ
λόγου (=110= 1), ἓν μόριον λόγου (=126= 7), πᾶν ὄνομα καὶ ῥῆμα
καὶ ἄλλο μόριον λέξεως (=168= 10). ‘Words’ simply might serve
as a rendering in many cases, except that it is usually well
to preserve Dionysius’ idea of ‘words in their syntactical
relations,’ ‘words in a sentence.’ In =232= 18 the meaning may
be ‘in every word’: so =130= 7, =134= 25, =220= 3, =222= 10,

=μυγμός.= =138= 10. _A moaning_, _muttering_, _murmur_, _humming_. Lat.
_gemitus_. Cp. Demetr. p. 294, and Aesch. _Eum._ 117, 120.

10: =οἰκειότης= =122= 21, =240= 7: =οἰκειοῦν= =122= 17. If
the metaphors are to be fully pressed, we might render οἰκεῖα
καὶ φίλα in =110= 13 by ‘to seem loving members of the same
family,’ and οἰκείως in =118= 14 by ‘in harmony with their
inner significance.’ In =122= 21 οἰκειότης is ‘a natural
inclination or instinct.’ On =122= 17 there is the following
scholium in M: οἰκειοῦται ἀντὶ τοῦ εὐσταθῶς ἥδεται. In =126=
1 τὸ οἰκεῖον (_appropriateness_) seems almost to stand for
τὸ πρέπον and to be an illustration of Dionysius’ own love
for variety. It is this unusually copious vocabulary of his
that does much to relieve the dull monotony of a technical
treatise. “In the works of Dionysius, the great representative
of a later school of criticism [sc. than that of Aristotle],
we meet for the first time a wealth of rhetorical terminology.
In his numerous writings we find freely used a fully developed
vocabulary, which is completely adequate for the purposes of
the professional rhetorician and the broad literary critic”
(Larue van Hook _Metaphorical Terminology, etc._ p. 8).

Aristot. _Poet._ vi. 18 λέγω δέ, ὥσπερ πρότερον εἴρηται,
λέξιν εἶναι τὴν διὰ τῆς ὀνομασίας ἑρμηνείαν: Dionys. Hal. _de
Demosth._ cc. 18, 34, 40: Demetr. _de Eloc._ §§ 91, 304.

=οὐρανός.= =142= 12, =144= 19, =150= 6, =220= 23. _Palate._ Lat.
_palatum_. In the margin of R (with reference to =142= 12)
there is the note: τὴν ὑπερῴαν φησίν. This sense of οὐρανός is
found several times in Aristotle (see Bonitz’ _Index_), and
not (as has sometimes been supposed) for the first time in
Dionysius. Cp. the converse _caeli palatum_ in Ennius _apud_
Cic. _de_ _Nat. Deor._ ii. 18. 48 “sed dum, palato quid sit
