Sinopsis
Excerpt from Carmina, Liber Epodon: With Introduction and Notes
Horace's Latin is a good deal affected by the conciseness which, as we have just said (p. Xx) was demanded by the perpetually recurring emphases of lyric poetry. For the sake of brevity he often used expressions which may be called 'short cuts,' intended to avoid unemphatic prepositions and conjunctions, and to bring important words closer together. The most striking instances of this practice are his use of the genitive case and of the infinitive mood. His freedom in the use of these constructions was undoubtedly imitated from the Greek, though it is not always possible to produce a Greek parallel for every Horatian instance.

Excerpt from Carmina, Liber Epodon: With Introduction and Notes
This edition of Horace's Odes and Epodes was undertaken at the request of the Syndics of the Pitt Press. In the text, at a few notorious passages, I have admitted conjectures which give a good sense with very little alteration of the letters. The spelling is, for obvious reasons, adapted in the main to that of Lewis and Short's lexicon. In regard to final -es and -is in acc. plur. of the 3rd declension I have almost always followed the indications given in Keller's Epilegomena.
In preparing the notes, I have used Orelli's edition (as revised in 1885 by Hirschfelder) freely for illustrative quotations. It is the common quarry. Besides this, I have referred very often to the editions of A. Kiessling (1884) and Dean Wickham (1874), less frequently to those of Mr Page (1886), C. W. Nauck (1880) and H. Schütz (1874). The dates given are the dates of my copies.
I am greatly indebted to my friend Dr Postgate, of Trinity College, for many corrections and suggestions.
The notes contain, here and there, reminiscences of the teaching of Prof. J. W. Hales, formerly Fellow of Christ's College.
