• Resumen

  • A scholion of Ps.Acro on Horace ascribes a fragment to the third book of Varro’s Disciplinarum libri. According to almost all attempts to reconstruct the series of this work the third book belonged to rhetoric. Since the text deals with little pipes with only a few holes, one suspected an error of the number attributing this fragment to the book on music. But since Varro’s interest in music concerns many other works, this is not necessary. We know that speakers employed slaves in the background who used little pipes in order to control the voice of their patron. So this fragment fits well into a text on rhetoric. Since it seems that the following fourth book dealt with music, the last book of the Trivium and the first of the Quadrivium are linked closely by the common theme of rhetorical or musical performance
