The Style of Galatians 503 Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Quintilian (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.107); Quintilian does not approve ending with a paean (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.110-111). Dionysus of Halicarnassus approves use of anapest and hypobacchius. Cicero thinks the first kind of paean should be used at the beginning of a sentence (cf. also Quintilian Institutio Oratoria 9.4.111); however, it is used at the end of six sentences in Galatians (22). Quintilian says that the cretic makes an excellent ending, but disapproves preceding it with a trochee (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.107). This happens twice in Galatians (i.e., in 2,13.18). Quintilian cautions that he does not recommend too great attention to rhythm (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.112-116; cf. Cicero, De Oratore 3.193). Augustine says that Paul and other scriptural writers seem not to pay much attention to harmonious ending of sentences, as far as he can tell from reading them in Latin translation. The one specific example he discusses is Romans 13,14 (On Christian Doctrine 4.20.40-41). In Galatians insufficient attention to the ending of sentences might be indicated most of all by the times sentences end with tribrach; everyone seems to agree that this is a poor ending. It might also be indicated by the six times sentences end with the second kind of paean; those who approve of the paean think this type should be used at the beginning not the end of a sentence. Some of the other sentence endings used in Galatians would also be found wanting by some, as indicated by the opinions mentioned above. However, for the most part the sentences of Galatians conclude in ways that are widely approved. 3.

(24) Anadiplosis in 4,31–5,1 (BULLINGER, Figures of Speech, 255 — “freedom” repeated at the end of one sentence and the beginning of another); 5,7- 8 (related words end 5,7 and begin 5,8); antimereia in 1,14 (BULLINGER, Figures of Speech, 497 — noun used for adjective); 2,11 (BULLINGER, Figures of Speech, 494 — participle used for adjective); asyndeton (see Ad Herennium 4.41) in 3,13- 14 (LONGENECKER, Galatians, 121; MORLAND, Rhetoric of Curse, 215); 3,28 (cf.
