Attic, which favours concision, allows solecisms [which], when learned men have committed them, are called not solecisms but figures of speech, as for instance “la nuda genu” [la Virgil Aeneid 1 320 inline] and “la urbem quam statuo vestra est” [opere citato la Virgil Aeneid 1 573 ref]. For in those places [Virgil] ought to have said “la nudum genu habens” and “urbs quam statuo vestra est”. But in service to the [rhetorical] figure, that which is called Hellenism has reduced the three parts of speech to the two of usage on account of Atticism.
