Extract

In C.Q. N.S. xv (1965), 293 f., in a discussion of the popularity of theyounger Pliny's Letters in the late fourth century, I adduced three passages of St. Jerome which reveal acquaintance with the Letters. The list may be extended.

page 421 note 1 Mr. C. P. Jones kindly pointed out another echo: with Trajan to Pliny, Ep. to. 18. 1, ‘cuperem sine querela corpusculi tui et tuorum pervenire in Bithyniam potuisses’ cf. Marcus, to Fronto, 5. 70 (p. 86 van den Hout), ‘delector potius talem querellam corpusculi quam dolores aliquos intercessisse’. The Thesaurus quotes no other example of this curious phrase. However, it may be that Marcus came across it in the imperial files rather than in an edition of Pliny's Letters: and at this date Bk. to may still have been circulating separately.—I should like to take this opportunity of modifying my rather exaggerated statement on p. 291, line 27, by inserting ‘practically’ before ‘confined’.Google Scholar
