CHAPTER IX.
OF THE BEST METHOD OF TEACHING GRAMMAR.
"Quomodo differunt grammaticus et grammatista?
Grammaticus est qui diligenter, acute, scienterque possit aut dicere aut scribere, et poetas enarrare: idem literatus dicitur.

Grammatista est qui barbaris literis obstrepit, cui abusus pro usu est; Graecis Latinam dat etymologiam, et totus in nugis est: Latine dicitur literator."-- DESPAUTER.
