One might add that, if one reads the whole context of Att. 12. 6. 1 in conjunction with Cicero's other references to Hegesias (Or. 226, 230; Brut. 286), one is bound to conclude that for Cicero the characteristic feature of H.'s style was, not concinnity, but unnatural disjointedness of utterance.Google Scholar

^{page 6 note 3} Professor Woodcock suggests that this may be due to the conflation, not unnatural in informal utterance, of ‘eos disperituros’ with ‘fore ut’, and quotes an analogous incongruity with the Supine+iri in Quin-tilian, inst. 9. 2. 28 reus parrkidii… damnation iri videbatur.

^{page 6 note 4} As a matter of convenience I use the term ‘antecedent’ for that element to which the relative clause refers, irrespective of its position.

Ann. 1. 74. 1) the separating element is an ablative absolute phrase, and therefore easily isolated. In other cases it coalesces with noun or verb in its clause, in such a way as to form virtually a single idea: Caesar, , B.G. 1. 44.Google Scholar 3; 7. 50. 1 (adverbial phrase); Cic. Mux. 7; Fam. 9. 15. 1 (dependent genitive). The principle assumed by K.-S. would appear to be justified in Sall. lug. 46. 2 and 81. 1, and (if the relative clause is genuine) in Cic. Tusc. 1.3.
