“Atthis, quae brevitati studet, admittit soloecismos, quos cum docti fecerint, non soloecismi sed schemata logu appellantur, ut est nuda genu et urbem quam statuo⟳ vestra est.”

Attic, which favours concision, allows solecisms [which], when learned men have committed them, are called not solecisms but figures of speech, as for instance “nuda genu” [Vergilius, Aeneid 1.320] and “urbem quam statuo vestra est” [opere citato 1.573]. For in those places [Virgil] ought to have said “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.
