metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article aims to restore the train of thought in Petr. Sat. 118. 3–5. In 118. 3, the manuscript
  reading sanitatem (instead of the emendation vanitatem) is to be retained and taken not as
  hinting at the lack of poetic ecstasy, but as ‘stylistic simplicity’ after Pavlova 2017. The adversative
  ceterum does not imply that poetry is the polar opposite of rhetoric, but stresses that contrary
  to the expectations of poeticizing orators, true poetry is hard toil. The first neque-clause
  does not imply contrast with rhetoric, but calls for a copious style (in particular, copious sententiae).
  The second neque-clause implies that poetry must absorb an immense literary tradition
  in order to attain a copious language. Thus, the two coordinate neque-clauses in 118. 3 are
  paired as requiring copiousness (a) in style and (b) in language. In the next two sentences, (a)
  and (b) are specified in chiastic order: (b) the borrowed diction must be elevated (118. 4); (a)
  the sententiae (as the primary stylistic ornament) must be integrated into the texture of the
  poem (118. 5). The idea that absorbing literary tradition must enrich poetic language may be
  paralleled in Hor. Epist. 2. 2. 115–118. Sententiae are regarded as an essential constituent of
  poetic style, despite the ironic remark on sententiolae vibrantes in 118. 2.
