Abstract
This paper aims to examine the closeness of Quintilian to Aelius Theon in the light of the known Greek and also the new Armenian material. In the process I shall be trying to establish precisely what went on in an ancient school of rhetoric at the pre-declamation stage; I shall hope to throw some new light on Quintilian’s tenth book; and I shall argue that what a boy learned before he came on to declamation ‘proper’ was of great importance to his education, and had a disproportionate effect on anything he might write in later life.
