chance for comments on style and composition of the Historia

the broader context of the centuries-old controversy over this
set of imperial biographies.

Williams.
However, my aim is to point out that the prima facie Witz of this poem has been commonly misunderstood. Here a Charinus, who is similar to an enemy who is explicitly envious of both the gifts
the poet has received as a result of his cleverness (cp. 9, 97), and the very glory he has achieved by means of his poetry, simulates he no longer envies Martial’s poetic glory but, merely, his (not particularly valuable) material properties. He gets unmasked in the last line, however, where Martial lets him obtain the very goods he has declared to envy. Should this happen, Charinus would no longer be able to conceal the real reason for his liuor, viz. that he is envious, indeed, of the sole poetic accomplishments Martial has achieved. Other views, among which some depict a Martial who would
be disappointed with his stingy patrons on account of the paltry gifts they have bestowed on him, seem to be too far-sought as far as they do not take into account the self-representation of the poet offered throughout his works, and the (typical) kind of relationship he had established with his powerful friends, that is, his patrons.

conjunction uti as variant for the far more common ut, in Ver. 10, 4; Heliog.
18, 3; trig. tyr. 1, 2. In the first passage, however, uti is a conjecture, whereas
the whole paradosis points at ut sibi, so that we are able to rescue a form of
sibi usurpare, a phrase cheered by the author of the HA. In the second instance
uti is a legitimate spelling: the author uses it due to a close imitation of the
sacral style of speech suitable to the faked deuotio he introduces here. This
passage shows, moreover, interesting connections with a chapter in
Macrobius’ Saturnalia. In the latter passage, a necessary negation is lacking, while the best manuscript reads uti: thence one might correct the phrase as to read ut uix which the most economic emendation so far.

"Vetabo" (fut.) is conjectured in place of the corrupt "uetuo" .

In quest'ottica gli epigrammi sembrano costituire un'arma -in coppia con il rumor, la Dea Maldicenza venerata tanto dal volgo quanto da Marziale stesso 3 -utile per cacciare fuori gioco i rivali più insidiosi. Due studiosi in particolare hanno setacciato il contenuto e la forma di 8, 61, Ch. Schöffel e C.G. Williams, il primo nell'ampio commento all'VIII libro 4 e il 1 Le ipotesi si sono accavallate in una maniera che definirei persino sorprendente. Tuttavia, lo stesso è successo, per esempio, anche a proposito di Mart. 1, 68, o di 5, 34 e degli altri due epigrammi sulla defunta servetta Erotion.
