^{page 342 note 1} The abnormal scansion of voluptas in the phrase volŭptas mea Mil. 1345 etc. and of molestus in molĕstae sunt Mil. 69 is due to the accentuation produced by the enclitics mea, sunt, namely voluptas mea, molestaé sunt, as I have explained in a former article in the Classical Review (Oct.—Nov. 1891). The views expressed in that article, I am glad to see, coincide to a great extent with those of the new Studies in Latin Grammar and Prosody of Dr. Skutsch. But simillumae sunt will not admit of a like explanation, for the accentuation simillumaé sun would not affect the quantity of the second syllable.
