An example is:—
Sólvitur | ā́cris hi|éms ‖ grā|tā́ vice ‖ vḗris | ét Fa|vṓnī (H. 1, 4).
In Archilochus the verse is said to have been asynartetic ([2535]); but Horace and Prudentius do not allow hiatus or syllaba anceps in the diaeresis, and Prudentius sometimes neglects the diaeresis altogether.
The Iambelegus.
[2678.] This verse consists of a trochaic dimeter catalectic with anacrusis + a Lesser Archilochian ([2579]). No resolutions are allowed in the first colon, and the dactyls in the second colon are never replaced by spondees. There is regularly a diaeresis between the two cola. The scheme is:—
⏑͐ ⁞ –́ ⏑ | –̇ ⏑͐ | –́ ⏑ | –̇ ⌃ # –́ ⏑ ⏑ | –́ ⏑ ⏑ | –́ ⌅
An example is:—
Rū|pḗre | nec mā|tér do|mum # caérula | tḗ reve|hét (H. Epod. 13, 16).
[2679.] This verse occurs only in the Second Archilochian Strophe ([2726]) of Horace. Some authorities treat the first colon as an iambic dimeter. The name Iambelegus was given to the verse because the ancient grammarians regarded it as a dactylic pentameter for the first half of which an iambic colon had been substituted.
