[1368] Salvian, _De Gub._ v. 24 ‘De Bagaudis nunc mihi sermo est qui per malos iudices et cruentos spoliati afflicti necati, postquam ius Romanae libertatis omiserant, etiam honorem Romani nominis perdiderunt ... vocamus rebelles, vocamus perditos quos esse compulimus criminosos’. Salvian was a preacher and loved vividness. But, as Hodgkin remarks (I. i. 2, pp. 920 ff.), he was a truthful man, and had an enthusiasm for justice, and as such he saw that there was much to be said on the anti-Roman side. Cf. ‘... inciperent esse quasi barbari, quia non permittebantur esse Romani’. [1369] Pichon, _Études sur la Litt. lat._ i. 55. [1370] Sidon. _Ep._ ii. 10. 1; iv. 17. 2. [1371] Letter to Philip, 5, 10; Murray, _Religio Grammatici_, p. 18. [1372] ‘Der Endzweck der Wissenschaften ist Wahrheit. Wahrheit ist der Seele nothwendig, und es wird Tyrannei, ihr in Befriedigung dieses wesentlichen Bedürfnisses den geringsten Zwang anzuthun.’ [1373] ‘Et ideo ego adolescentulos existimo in scholis stultissimos fieri, quia nihil ex iis quae in usu habemus aut audiunt aut vident’, _Satyr._ i. 1 and 2. [1374] Aphthon. _Progym._ 4. 10. [1375] Ibid. 7. [1376] Ibid. 12. [1377] _Ep._ xxii. [1378] _Ep._ xiii. 6 ff. [1379] _Ep._ xv. 24 ff. Cf. his trifling with Greek words, _Ep._ viii.

[1385] Cf. Sid. _Ep._ iv. 22. 2 ‘et ego Plinio discipulus assurgo’. [1386] _Ep._ i. 1. 2. [1387] Cf. Baret’s ed., p. 115. [1388] _Ep._ iv. 3. 3. [1389] _Ep._ iv. 22. 6. [1390] ‘Quisquis enim recentiorum aliquid dignum memoria scriptitavit, non et ipse novitios legit. Illi ergo reventilandi memoriaeque mandandi sunt de quibus isti potuere proficere quos miramur’, _Ep. Posterior_ (_Corp. Scriptt. Eccles. Lat._, vol. x, p. 206). [1391] See especially Brandt, _Eumenius von Augustodunum_, pp. 18, 19. Cf. Pichon, _Études sur la Litt. lat._ i. 36 ff. [1392] It must be remembered, however, that the ‘litterati’ of the day very often posed as familiar with authors whom they only knew from extracts or anthologies. The rarer authors here prescribed were known, probably, only in this superficial way. [1393] Cf. Wackernagel in _Kultur der Gegenwart_, i. 8. 389. [1394] Jer. _Ep._ 125. 6. [1395] Sidonius gives as the special mark of the grammarian his love of rule (_regulare_), _Ep._ iv. 1. 2. [1396] ‘Ambrosio et Beato’ (_Corp. Scriptt. Eccles. Lat._, vol. vi, p. 408). [1397] Cf. Aulus Gellius, N. A. i. 6. 4 ‘Rhetori concessum est sententiis uti falsis, audacibus, versutis, subdolis, captiosis, si veri modo similes sint....’ [1398] Ozanam, _Hist. of Civil. in the Fifth Century_, i. 3. [1399] Cf. Rocafort, _Paulin de Pella_, p. xl; Ebert, _Geschichte der Litteratur des Mittelalters_, p. 409.
