What is Roman Poetic Criticism: Brevity Analysis about?

This document discusses different interpretations of the term "tersius" used by Gellius in his work Noctes Atticae to describe four Latin epigrams. It examines whether the term refers to "conciseness", as suggested by an emendation, or "polished" as the manuscript reading implies. It also analyzes the relationship between rhetorical ideals of brevity and poetic notions from Callimachus, finding some overlap in terminology but ultimately distinct traditions.
