Susenbrotus" defines the figure as Epanalepsis, and notes in the margin that Cicero calls it Conduplicatio, the reference being to the passage we have quoted from Ad Herennium. He also notes Replicatio and Reiteratio, but not Iteratio. Nor does Cicero use iteratio to refer to this figure. Quintilian does not use the term as a figure either, but as a word merely.s¢ In fact, he is specific on the point, "no enim est ipsa per se iteratio schema." Nor does he connect the word with a single scheme as in "Id Herennium.
The next figure in Ad Herennium is interpretatio. Polixenes tells Florizel,
- I would have ransack'd
The pedlar's silken treasury and have pour'd it
To her acceptance; you have let him go
And nothing marted with him. If your lass
Interpretation should abuse and call this
Your lack of love or bounty, you were straited
For a reply."
Ad Herennium says, "Interpretatio est, quae non iterans idem redintegrat verbum, sed id commutat, quod positu est, alio verbo, quod idem valeat."97 This figure is close kin to Conduplicatio, and so follows it. Note that it also uses iterans. The word interpretation was used so much for the process of interpretation that it is difficult to know when it is being used in the figurative sense. The illustration above is the most figurative of those in Shakspere. SusenbrotusÎB has Interpretatio, but it is a different figure. Wilson apparently does not have the figure at all.99
Somewhat akin to the iteration of Conduplicatio is Repetitio. Eli. Thou unadvised scold, I can produce
A will that bars the title of thy son.
Const. Ay, who doubts that? a will! a wicked will;
A woman's will; a canker'd grandam's will!
K. Phi. Peace, lady! pause, or be more temperate: It ill beseems this presence to cry aim
To these ill-tuned repetitions?"
On repetition Ad Herennium says,
Repetitio est, c~lrr continenter ab vno, atque eodem verbo in rebus similibus & diuersis principia sumuntur, hoc modo: Vobis istud attribuendum est,
