PROSODY

versuum lex et modificatio (Sen. Ep. 8 3): *prosodia (technical term): *doctrina ars prosodica.

prosody: *prŏsōdĭa (strictly the accent or tone of a syllable; and so used by Varr. in Gell. 18, 12: cf. id. 13, 6, where as in Quint. the word is written as Gk., προσῳδίαι): M. L. (Or by circuml., doctrina s. res prosodiaca [not, prosodica, as R. and A., after Kr.])
