Context Pliny describes his villa at Laurentum.
Comments Also at II.xvii.10. Rare in Greek and except for discussion by grammarians, only 3 examples, all in this book, in Latin. The Atticist Phrynichus condemns the term, but P. strays from Attic Greek. Varro also condemns procoeton an affected Grecism.
