Citat hunc uersum Plinius in Praefatione Naturalis Historiae § 1. Libros naturalis historiae nouicium Camenis Quiritium tuorum opus, natos apud me proxima, fetura licentiore epistula narrare conslitui tibi, incundissime imperator, sit enim haec tui praefatio uerissima, dum maxumei consenescit in patre; namque tu solebas putare esse aliquid meas nugas, ut obicere moliar Catullum conterraneum meum (adgnoscis et hoc castrense uerbum); ille enim, ut scis, permutatis prioribus syllabis duriusculum se fecit quam uolebat existumari a Veraniolis suis et Fabullis. Exscripsi locum qualis ex. optimis codicibus colligitur. Dixit de eo Mommsenus in Herme I. 128, ubi, relicta Alciati emendatione Saetabis, codices secutus plerosque syllabis restituit, pro uerbis obicere moliar uel quod habent alii obicere molliam cum Barbaro Rhenano Dalecampio obiter emolliam scribit; uersum quem de Catullo citauit Plinius sic constituit cum Hauptio
namque tu solebas
Nugas esse aliquid meas putare.
Cum enim scripsisset Catullus Mĕās esse aliquid putare nugas iambum autem uel trochaeum in prima sede hendecasyllaborum non ponerent Plini aequales ut duriorem, cuius rei testis sit minor Plinius Epp. I. 16, 5 facit uersus, quales Catullus aut Caluus; quantum illis leporis dulcedinis amaritudinis amoris! Inserit sane sed data opera mollibus lenibusque duriusculos quosdam, et hoc quasi Catullus aut Caluus; Plinium conterranei sui Catulli ut in praefatione operis recordatum, uerba eius suis inseruisse, sed ita emollita ut pro duriore illo iambo Mĕās mutato ordine uerborum scriberet in primo pede nugas, meas collocaret in quarto.
