1 The technical term for this literary misadventure was excidere (see T.L.L. s.v., col. 1236, lines 66 f.). In Greek ⋯κπ⋯πτειν was similarly used. Instances of this abound, as e.g. Cic. de Or. i. 5; i. 94; ad Att. iii. 12.2; xiii. 21–2; Tertullian, adv. Marc. i. 1, et al. In Greek, cf. Apollonius of Perga praef. i (p. 2, Heiberg); Diod. Sic. xl, fr. 8 (pp. 406–7, Boissevain); Galen xix, pp. 9 f. and p. 43 (Kuhn) et al.
