Still we say Orcivii, and Matones and Otones, Coepiones, sepulchra, coronas, lacrymas, because that pronunciation is always sanctioned by the judgment of our ears. Ennius always used Burrum, never Pyrrhum: he says, "Vi patefecerunt Bruges;" not Phryges; and so the old copies of his poems prove, for they had no Greek letters in them.
