Excerpt from Rhetorical Studies in the Arbitration Scene of Menander's Epitrepontes: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy And, lastly, the very warmth and freedom of Quintilian's words of commendation, the phrase moo quidem iudicio, and his admiration of Menander elsewhere expressed (i, 8, 7) all these make it a safe inference that he was quite familiar with Menander's plays, and point irresistibly to the conclu sion that his opinion regarding the help Menander could give the student of Oratory, however supported by the views of others, was yet his own. We have not here to deal with a mere second-hand judgment copied from some earlier writer, which may be the case with some of his criticisms of other Greek writers. If his opinion of Menander be the traditional one, yet he is in hearty accord with it as a result of his own judgment based upon a thorough knowledge both of the poet and of the art of Rhetoric.
