Description:Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings, Vol. 25: 1894 In his use of prepositions Aulus Gellius often departs widely from the practice of the classical Latin writers, in no particular, however, more strikingly than in the coupling of prepositions with cases to express thoughts which, in the best days of the language, the case-form by itself was amply competent to convey with clearness and precision. This phenomenon is, in part, an evidence of decay in the language. Even before the time of Gellius the cases had suffered a loss of vitality, so that frequently the unaided case-form seemed to the writer insufficient to indicate the exact connection of ideas which he desired to suggest to the minds of his readers. Yet in the main the excessive use of prepositions in Gellius is due to other causes, to wit, his passion for the archaic Latin writers, and the influence of the sermo plebeius. Of the peculiarities discussed in the first part of this paper, some are to be regarded probably as archaisms. Such are cum valebo ab oculis, revisere and visere ad, quaeso tecum, while dicere ad, dictitare ad, inquit ad, dedere ad, degustare ex, and esitare ex point to the sermo plebeius.
