Abstract.  Each of the chapters of this study has examined a single aspect of Wieland’s Horace, and isolated it from the other features of the Epistles, as far as this was practicable. The artificiality of maintaining this separation indicates the need to undertake an integrated look at one passage. By way of conclusion, a short reprise of the categories treated in each of the chapters will be brought to bear on a passage from Epistles 1.3, to Julius Florus, quoted below. This passage was chosen because it displays a good number of the notable features, although no one passage can encapsulate such a varied whole.
