Pliny the younger, among the commendations which hebestows on a friend, mentions, as a praise-worthy part of hischaracter, that he attended the lectures of Quintilian and NicetesSacerdos, of whom Pliny himself was at that time a constant follower. _Erat non studiorum tantum, verum etiam studiosorum amantissimus, acprope quotidie ad audiendos, quos tunc ego frequentabam, Quintilianumet Niceten Sacerdotem, ventitabat. _ Lib. Vi. Epist. 6. [c] Mitylene was the chief city of the isle of Lesbos, in ...the ÆgeanSea, near the coast of Asia. The place at this day is called_Metelin_, subject to the Turkish dominion. _Ephesus_ was a city of_Ionia_, in the Lesser Asia, now called _Ajaloue_ by the Turks, whoare masters of the place. [d] Domitius Afer and Julius Africanus have been already mentioned, section xiii. Note [d]. Both are highly praised by Quintilian. ForAsinius Pollio, see s. Xii. Note [e]. Section XVI.
