[1] I [MH] have repunctuated (Adler's punctuation gives 'Progymnasmata on Hermogenes' Art', which makes little sense). For 'commentary' (hupomnema) understood before eis compare the citation of Porphyry's commentary on Minucianus' Art of Rhetoric in [pi 2098] Porphyry. For Hermogenes, and his Art of Rhetoric, see [epsilon 3046] Hermogenes.
