[62]
altera est per detractionem figura, de qua
modo dictum, cui coniunctiones eximuntur. tertia,
quae dicitur ἐπεζευγμένον in qua unum ad verbum
plures sententiae referuntur, quarum unaquaeque
desideraret illud, si sola poneretur. id accidit
aut praeposito verbo, ad quod reliqua respiciant:
vicit pudorem libido, timorem audacia, rationem
amentia; aut illato, quo plura cluduntur: neque
enim is es, Catilina, ut te aut pudor unquam a
turpitudine aut metus a periculo aut ratio a furore
revocaverit.
