. 1910: ... CHAPTER II. THE COMMON-PLACE TOPICS AND EXPRESSIONS FOUND IN THE INSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR COMPOSITION FROM THESE We discussed in the previous chapter the effort made at original poetical expressions by many of the writers. There are two other elements which enter into the composition of the inscriptions to a large extent. These are the quotations from the popular Roman poets of the time and certain common-place statements which appear to have been at the disposal of all. C. Weyman in Blaetterfur das Gymnasial-Schulwesen, 1895, pp. 520-66, and C. Hosius in Rheinisches Museum, pp. 286-300, have very adequately discussed the quotations from the poets found in the first volume of the Carmina Epigr.

He has given particular attention to their sources and proves that the majority of these commonplaces did not originate with the Roman writers themselves, but that they were much-used expressions occurring frequently in the literature of the Greeks and often employed by them in the composition of epitaphs. Consequently in this chapter we shall give but little attention to the origin of either the common-place expressions or the quotations from the poets. Our consideration shall be mainly directed to the common-places themselves as they are employed by the authors of the inscriptions; first, where they used the bare unvarnished statement with little attempt to vary it or avoid the monotony, and then, the more pleasing attempts where the idea of the common-place is not lost sight of but the form is changed and embellished until the triteness is not apparent. Then we shall show the manner in which a large number of compositions were formed by using seve...
