Lucian, whose satire does not spare rhetors, makes specific mention now and then of _declamatio_, using the term μελέτη or μελετᾶν: _Demonax_, 33, 36; _Rhetorum præceptor_, 17. One passage is very like Quintilian’s in the text above: “But the chief exercise and the aim of the art of dancing, as I said, is acting, which is practised in the same way by rhetors, especially by those who cultivate the so-called _declamationes_. Their art is the more applauded for its adaptation to the assigned characters and for its consonance with the persons introduced, whether princes, tyrannicides, poor men, or farmers.” _De saltatione_, 65. Some of his satires, e.g., _Tyrannicida_, _Abdicatus_, and some of the _encomia_, sound like mock _declamationes_. [11] Watson’s (Bohn) translation quotes (foot-notes to pages 212-13 of volume I) Capperonier’s tabular summary of the doctrine of _status_ found in Quintilian, Cicero, the treatise _Ad Herennium_, and Hermogenes. For Cicero see also pages 49-51 above. Jæneke’s Leipzig dissertation (1904) _De statuum doctrina ab Hermogene tradita_ compares by tabular view (pages 23-4, 120-1) the system of Hermagoras, as it is inferred from Cicero, Quintilian, and St. Augustine, with that of Hermogenes. [12] The maxim was _reddere auditores benevolos, attentos, dociles_. The classical lore on the third of these functions is surveyed by F. P. Donnelly, S. J., in _A function of the classical exordium_, Classical Weekly, V. 204-7, New York, May 11, 1912. [13] Curam ergo verborum rerum volo esse solicitudinem. VIII, proem, 20. The passage goes on: “For generally the best words are inseparable from their things, and are discerned by their own light. But we look for them as if they were always lurking and hiding. So, forgetting that they must be near the subject-matter, we seek them elsewhere and, when we have found them, lay hold of them by force. A higher spirit is needed for essaying eloquence; for if she is in sound health throughout her frame, she will not think her care should be spent on manicuring and hairdressing.” Fronto, on the contrary, praises the young Marcus Aurelius for digging up words, “ut verbum ex alto eruas et ad significandum adcommodes,” ed., Haines, I. 6.
