1 ‘ si pars sequens orationis a uocali inchoet, nihil dicimus, ut (II 402) “heu nihil inuitis fas quemquam fidere diuis ”; si autem a consonante inchoet, nil ponimus, ut Iuuenalis (IV 22) “nil tale expectes: emit sibi. multa uidemus ”’. One sees what he wants to say, though he has not said it: he does not really mean that, he writes or pronounces ‘te sine nihil altum mens incohat’ in gearg. III 42, nor ‘ille nil, nec me quaerentem uana moratur’ in Aen. II 287.58 1 In Valerius Flaccus and Statius I have noticed no example of nihil or nil in this situation.
