at quae per detractionem fiunt figurae, brevitatis novitatisque maxime gratiam petunt; quarum una est ea, quam libro proximo in figuras ex συνεκδοχῇ distuli, cum subtractum verbum aliquod satis ex ceteris intelligitur: ut Caelius in Antonium, stupere gaudio Graecus: simul enim auditur coepit. Cicero ad Brutum: sermo nullus scilicet nisi de te; quid enim potius? tum Flavius, Cras, inquit, tabellarii, et ego ibidem has inter cenam exaravi.
