Keywords:
ancient rhetoric, Roman rhetoric, Pliny the YoungerAbstract
We presented a translation of the letter VII.9 (ninth letter of the tenth book) from the Pliny’s epistolary, witch in our view is configured as a reduced version of the chapter V, book X, from the Institutes of Oratory by Quintilian. Our comments therefore take into account the rhetorical aspects in the said letter.
