1 ‘versus’ and ‘poetae’ of course, because no prose was ‘apud grammaticos’ at Rome at this time.

2 So Spalding takes ‘consummatis professoribus,’ but, as he says, it is harsh; on the other hand, if we take it as dative the statement seems exaggerated. I am much inclined to Sarpe's ‘profectibus’ =highly advanced pupils, a phrase which has good parallels in Quintilian.

3 It may be observed that each exercise is introduced by its leading noun, which I have indicated by printing them in capitals.
