"Scipio invicte;" and likewise I myself in "Hoc motu radiantis ETESIAE IN Vada Ponti." This, however, would seldom be suffered among us, though the Greeks often commend it as a beauty. But why do I speak of a collision of vowels? for, omitting this, we have frequently contracted our words for the sake of brevity; as in multi' modis, vas' argenteis, palm' et crinibus, tecti' fractis, &c.
