The reader will find all the information on this subject in Riese's edition of the _Menippean Satires_, Leipsic, 1865. We append a few fragments showing their style, language, and metrical treatment. (1) From the _ammon metreis_. "Quém secúntur eúm rutúndis vélitís levés pármis Ante sígnaní quadrátis múltisígnibús técti." We observe here the rare rhythm, analogous to the iambic scazon, of a trochaic tetrameter with a long penultimate syllable. (2) From the _Anthropopolis_. "Non fit thesauris non auro pectu' solutum; Non demunt animis curas et religiones Persarum montes, non atria diviti' Crassi." The style here reminds us strongly of Horace. (3) From the _Bimarcus_. "Túnc repénte caélitum áltum tónitribús templúm tonéscat, Et patér divón trisú cum fúlmen igni férvido áctum Mútat in tholúm macelli." (4) From the _Dolium aut Seria_, in anapaestics. "Mundus domus est maxima homulli Quam quinque altitonae flammigerae Zonae cingunt per quam limbus Bis sex signis stellumicantibus Aptus in obliquo aethere Lunae Bigas acceptat." The sentiment reminds us of Plato. (5) From the _Est modus matulae_, on wine. "Vino nihil iucundius quisquam bibit Hoc aegritudinem ad medendam invenerunt, Hoc hilaritatis dulce seminarium, Hoc continet coagulum convivia." (6) From the _Eumenides_, in galliambics, from which those of Catullus may be a study. "Tibi týpana non inánes sonitús Matri' Deúm Tonimú', canimu' tibí nos tibi núnc semivití; Teretém cornam volántem iactant tibí Gallí." (7) From the _Marcipor_, a fine description. "Repente noctis circiter meridie Cum pictus aer fervidis late ignibus Caeli chorean astricen ostenderet Nubes aquali frigido velo leves Caeli cavernas aureas subduxerant Aquam vomentes inferam mortalibus Ventique frigido se ab axe eruperant, Phrenetici septentrionum filii Secum ferentes regulas ramos syrus. At nos caduci naufragi ut ciconiae, Quarum bipinnis fulminis plumas vapor Percussit, alte maesti in terram cecidimus." NOTE II.--_The Logistorici_. The _Logistorici_, which, as we have said, were imitated from Heraclides Ponticus, are alluded to under the name _Hrakleideion_ by Cicero. He says (Att. xv. 27, 2), _Excudam aliquid Hrakleideion, quod lateat in thesauris tuis_ (xvi. 2, 5) _Hrakleideion, si Brundisium salvi, adoriemur._ In xvi. 3, 1, he alludes to the work as his _Cato Major de Senectute_. Varro had promised him a _Hrakleideion_. _Varro ... a quo adhuc_ Hr. _illud non abstuli_ (xvi. 11, 3). He received it (xvi. 12). NOTE III.--_Some Fragments of Varro Atacinus._ This poet, who is by later writers often confounded with Varro Reatinus, was much more finished in his style, and therefore more read by the Augustan writers. Frequently when they speak of Varro it is to him that they refer. We append some passages from his _Chorographia_. I.
