PROLEGOMENA Introduction.

Ultra beyond, a preposition in Sallust's Jugurthine War: And the Mauri, a vain race, like the other peoples of Africa; they contended that the antipodes lived beyond Ethiopia, following the customs of the Persians, just and noble men; as an adverb, as in: Reading assiduously, doing nothing further. Censorinus discussed these things, as I said above, while treating of accents.

Furthermore, Priscian praises Censorinus twice where he deals with letters (I, 4, 16 p. 544): "The authority of both Varro and Macer, according to Censorinus, does not use K, Q, nor H in the number of letters;" and a little later (I, 4, 17 p. 545), where he expounded his own opinion, he adds that I and U, although they have one name and one figure both as vowels and consonants, are nevertheless not to be taken as the same elements, adding: "although this also pleased Censorinus, a most learned man in the art of grammar." From which work of Censorinus these were taken cannot be defined more accurately.

An illustrious volume has reached us, as Sidonius Apollinaris says in his letter to Polemius preceding poem XIV (p. 114), which he wrote On the Birthday to Q. Cerellius The name Cerellius is found in inscriptions by Gruter. CCXLI; Murat. MDCLV, 1, 2; CXCVI, 1. Doni X, 90; Kellermann vigil. V, 1, 72. Cerelliae Gud. ind. CVIII. Murat. MCCCXXI, 10; 11. Caerellii Gruter. CCCLXXIX, 7; MXLI, 14; MCXXX, 6; MCXXXIX, 13; Gud. LI, 9; CXVIII, 2; CCCLIII, 14; Murat. DVIII, 1; MCCLVI, 2; MCCCXVI, 8; Osann. ad Apul. p. 50. Caerelliae Grut. MCXL, 2; Murat. MCCCXVI, 8., about which man nothing at all is known, except for the high praises bestowed upon him by Censorinus.
