The text is based on scans of two different physical copies of the same edition; see endnotes for one variant reading. Typographical errors are marked with mouse-hover popups. All pilcrows in the body text were added by the transcriber (see endnotes).

Yet it is also a mirror of one variation of rhetoric which came to be called the rhetoric of style. As a representative of this stylistic school, it offers little that is new to the third part of classical
