Glosses on Priscian (St. Gall).

Tytyre pascentes a flumine reiice¹⁴ capellas:

…‘hiulcus¹⁵’ trisyllabum est.

V vero loco consonantis possita eandem prorsus in omnibus¹⁶ uim habuit apud Latinos, quam apud Eoles digamma. Unde a plerisque ei nomen hoc datur, quod apud Eoles habuit olim ϝ¹⁷ digamma, id est ‘uau’ ab ipsius uoce¹⁸ profectum¹⁹… Pro quo Caesar hanc Ⅎ figurani scribi uoluit²⁰.

P. 8a

quod¹ quamuis illi recte uisum est, tamen consuetudo antiqua superauit. Adeo² autem hoc uerum est, quod pro Aeolico ϝ digamma ponitur u: quod sicut illi solebant accipere digamma modo³ pro conso­nante simplici teste Astyage, qui diuersis hoc⁴ ostendit usibus.…

Est tamen quando idem Eoles inueniuntur⁵ pro duplici quoque conso­nante digamma possuisse..

Nos quoque uidemur hoc⁶ sequi in praeterito et plusquam­perfecto tertiae et quartae con­iugationis, in quibus i ante u con­sonantem possita pro­ducitur eademque snbtracta cor­ripitur.

Nostri quoque hoc ipsum fecisse inueniuntur et pro consonante u⁷ uocalem breuem accepisse, ut Horatius ‘siluae’ tri­syllabum protulit in epodo hoc uersu:

Niuesque deducunt Iouem⁸, nunc mare⁹, nunc siluae¹⁰:

est enim dimetrum iambicum con­iunctum pente­mimeri^[1]11 heroico… Similiter Catullus Vero­nensis¹².
