Excerpt from Didymi Chalcenteri, Grammatici Alexandrini Fragmenta Quae Supersunt Omnia
M. Terentio Vanoni, quem nnncnpare Romanum po lyhistorem possumus quantum litterae debeant, nt accura tius perspici indicarique possit, hand in ultimis landnm est Frederici Ritschelii, qui, cum rarissimas pariter atque pre tiosissimas schedas 'collectanea inedita. Per T. Phi lipps Barf' inscriptas feliciter nactus esset, primus hoc reperto litterario in Museo Rhenano VI p. 481 sqq. Ita usus est, ut plurimis librorum Varronianorum inscriptionibus e tenebris in lucem vocatis fragmenta hand panca diutins domo exnlantia in veterem quasi sedem remigrare inberet. Sed in adumbranda imagine Alexandrini, Vanonis fere ae qualis, quo nemo plura scripsit, grammatici a Rufino his verbis merita laude exaggerati: Groset' Ebalterum (h. E. Chalcenternm) miris efl'erunt taudz'bus quod tantas libros com posuen't quantos quivis nostrum alienos sua manu desaibere non potest, ' Didymi, inquam, Chalcenteri Alexandrini, nemo dum quod sciam inventns est qui periculum ingrederetur. Si qui vero in transcursu grammatici laboriosissimi imaginem delinearent quod post Ritteri Wolffii aliorumque conatns nuperrime Theodorus Beccardns in diss. De scholl. In Hem. Il. Venet. (a) p. 26 - 35 aggressus est, ii sulcos potius in pulvere duxisse quam doctrinam Didymi in solem at que pulverem protraxisse putandi sunt. Itaque cum ego nullus dubitarem, quin operae pretium casem factnrus, si, quae Didymus Alexandrinae cruditionis horrea constitnit, quasi cum pulvisculo auferrem Didymi quae supersunt Omnia collegi, disposuique ita, nt in commentatione qua dripartiti opnscnli prima lexicographum, secunda criticum et scriptorum interpretem tertia grammaticum quarta de nique historicum adnmbrarem.
