1 Ennius(see Cic. Leg. 2. 68; cf. Gell. 18. 15. 1) called the dactylic hexameter a ‘uersus longus’; probably in contrast with Naevius' Saturnian. Quintilian's complaints about Terence (Inst. 10. 1. 99) seem to underly the distinction made in Julius Caesar Scaliger's Liber de comicis dimensionibus (1539; often reprinted in editions of Terence) between ‘senarii’ and ‘uersus longi’.
