ANECDOTA BAROCCIANA. 1 HE following inedited fragment occurs in the Baroc- cian MS. 76. fol. 302. It appears to be a truncated portion of the end of the fourth and the beginning of the fifth Book of some large grammatical work, not improbably the treatise of Herodian wepl KXlaew^ ovojuLarcov^ the first Book of which is cited by Steph. Byz. under the word Bjo/^es*. There are other excerpta from the same Grammarian in the MS. from which the fragment is taken, and the internal evidence it affords seems to favour the supposition that he is likewise the author of it.
