Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of the critical terminology invented by Pollux to express his opinions on words and it does so in a comprehensive and systematic way and for the first time. The numbers are as follows: 16 critical-aesthetic categories identified for the first time, 115 items (individual words or expressions) collected for the first time after an overall reading of the Onomasticon, 259 passages,which have beencontextualized and translated for the first time.Each of the 16 chapters is organized into 4 parts: 1) sub-title, 2) critical presentation, 3) transcript of passages by Pollux, 4) conclusions. The wide set of notes has built a significant network of relationships with the generally scarcely investigated grammar texts, which have never been compared before with both philosophical and technical texts (Plato, Aristotle de audibilibus, Demetrio de elocutione, Galen and Hippocrates). Many of the collected terms have never been attested before Pollux in their technical metalinguistic meaning: one is even a hapax.The use of the first person, often found in the presented passages, allows the conclusion that Pollux places himself at the heart of his writing project, always keeping a dialogue perpetually intertwining the teacher / author and the disciple / recipient.
