Some authorities write the scheme as:

i.e. a syncopated logaoedic tetrapody catalectic.
THE PHERECRATEAN (or _Pherecratic_).
2659. This verse is used by Catullus (34, 61), and by Horace (as the
third line of the Third Asclepiadean Strophe: see 2733). It is a
logaoedic tripody, with the dactyl in the second place. The scheme is:--
[-́ ⏑] |
-́ > | -́ ⏖ | -́ ⏑
[⏑́ -] |
The trochee and iambus are admitted in the first foot by Catullus, but
not by Horace. The iambus is very rare. There is no fixed caesura.
Examples are:--
Grā́tō, | Pýrrha, sub | ántrō (H. 1, 5, 3).
With initial trochee: Lū́te|úmve pa|pā́ver (Cat. 61, 195).
With initial iambus: Púel|laéque ca|nā́mus (Cat. 34, 4).
Some authorities prefer to regard the Pherecratean as a syncopated
logaoedic tetrapody catalectic, with the scheme:--
[-́ ⏑] |
-́ > | -́ ⏖ | ⏗́ | -́ ⌃
[⏑́ -] |
