Compare in Greek:—

[2713.] Later poets (Petronius, Martial, Terentianus Maurus) are more strict in their usage, admitting (with very few exceptions) only the forms ⏑́ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑, –́ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑, –́ ⏑ – ⏑ besides the normal –́ – ⏑ ⏑. Hence their scheme is:—
| –́ – ⏑ ⏑ | –́ – ⏑ ⏑ | –́ – ⏑ ⏑ | –́ – ⌅ |
| ⏑́ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ | ⏑́ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ | ⏑́ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ | |
| –́ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ | –́ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ | –́ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ | |
| –́ ⏑ – ⏑ | –́ ⏑ – ⏑ | –́ ⏑ – ⏑ |
Examples are:—
Móllēs, vete | rḗs Dēlia|cī́ manū re|cī́sī
péde tendite, | cúrs(um) addite, | cónvolāte | plántā (Petron. 23).
