Transcriber’s Notes
The Eton Grammar began in the first half of the 16th century as the Brevissima Institutio, later Rudimenta Grammatices, by William Lily, Lilly or Lilye (d. 1522). A 1758 revision acquired the name Eton Latin Grammar. The headers Propria quae maribus and As in Præsenti are from this book, as is the line “Cum multis aliis quæ nunc perscribere longum est”.
īngens, great, Ājax, the name of a hero (p. 152)
Both syllables in “Ajax” are long. Here, the “j” is to be pronounced as
a “double letter” (technically an affricate) as in English.
alterĭus has always a short i and alīus a long i
(p. 153)
The “i” in “alterius” is conventionally shortened in poetry to
accommodate the metre.
