At non effugies meos iambos
Porphyrio ad Horat Carm. I. 16. 24. Iambi autem uersus aptissimi habentur ad maledicendum. Denique et Catullus cum maledicta minaretur, sic ait ‘At–iambos.’ Cf. Comment. Cruq. ad locum. Extat etiam in codice Nicolai Cusani quem edidit Iosephus Klein p. 110, sequente fragmento Ciceronis (Fam. XVI. 26. 1). Huius culpae non effugies poenam. Versum Hauthalius refert ad Catulli c. XL. Quaenam te mala mens, miselle Rauide, Agit praecipitem in meos iambos? &c.; Westphalius ad carmen quod inter XIII et XIV stetisse ueri simile sit. Mihi ex c. LIV sumptum uidetur: cf. u. 6, Irascere iterum meis iambis Inmerentibus, unice imperator.
Hunc lucum tibi dedico consecroque Priape
Terentianus Maurus 2752–2760.
Ipse enim sonus indicat esse hoc lusibus aptum.
Et ferme modus hic datur a plerisque Priapo,
Inter quos cecinit quoque carmen tale Catullus;
Hunc lucum–ostriosior oris.
Et similes plures sic conscripsisse Catullura
Scimus.
Atilius Fortunatianus p. 317 Gaisf. Ex hac diuisione et Priapeus nascitur uersus. Cuius exemplum apud Catullum ‘Hunc–consecroque Priape.’ Nam cum in duo commata hic uersus diuidatur superius comma octo syllabarum et insequens septem, diminuta superioris commatis parte; ut si facias ‘Mater, saeua Cupidinum: mater saeua Cupido.’ Sed adeo totus hic ex heroo uenit hexametro ut et apud Homerum nullo immutato uerbo complures inueniantur Priapei, et apud Virgilium, quorum unum in praesentia posuimus, qui forte succurrit, credo et alios inueniri posse complures, ‘Cui non dictus Hylas puer et Latonia Delos.’
