When transmitting the teaching of his predecessors, the grammarian Charisius usually makes use of either subordinating clauses or direct speech, but he hardly ever employs the so-called indirect speech, typically found in strictly literary works rather than in technical ones. However, we have encountered some passages in which portions in direct speech precede indirect speech clauses, a remarkable phenomenon which could be thought of as textual corruptions needing emendation. Nevertheless, from the fact that this phenomenon is mainly found in parts of Charisius’ work taken from Julius Romanus’ De analogía (where the latter quotes Pliny the Elder’s Dubius sermo), we conclude that the text is correct and that we are dealing with a type of citation characteristic of Julius Romanus, the description of which is not found in the literature on Latin Syntax.
