‘hic dies est meus.’
Illud PORCELLVS Grammaticus arguebat in hoc uersu
quasi soloecismum quod cum plures induxisset
dicerent: ‘hic meus est dies,’ non ‘hic noster est,’
et in sententia optima id accusabat quod erat
optimum. muta enim, ut ‘noster’ sit: peribit omnis
uersus elegantia, in quo hoc est decentissimum quod
ex communi sermone trahitur; nam quasi prouerbii
loco est: ‘hic dies meus est;’ et cum ad sensum
rettuleris ne grammaticorum quidem calumnia ab
omnibus magnis ingeniis summouenda habebit
locum: dixerunt enim non omnes semel tamquam in
choro manum ducente grammatico, sed singuli ex
iis: ‘hic meus est dies.’
