_Aulus Gellius' Description of a Dimple_ (Vol. iv., p. 134.).--The

couplet quoted by your correspondent RT. is from Varro, and I think he

will find it given by Mad. Dacier in her edition of Anacreon, under Ode

xxviii., line 26.:

"[Greek: trypherou d' esô geneiou]," &c.

[Hebrew: A. T.]

If your correspondent RT. will refer to Gray's _Works_, vol. ii. p.

164., edited by Mitford, and published by Pickering, 1836, he will find

the following note:--

"The fragment is not to be found in Aulus Gellius, but in Mori

Marcellus, under the word 'Mollitudo.'"

Now what _Mori Marcellus_ means, I know not: perhaps some of your

correspondents may enlighten me on that point.
