502 Terrance Callan recommendation of Cicero, but Dionysius of Halicarnassus says this foot is ignoble. Quintilian approves having two trochees end a sentence (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.103). This happens twelve times in Galatians (17). The second most common foot at the end of the sentences in Galatians is the spondee; it is found at the end of twenty-six sentences (18). This foot is praised by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Quintilian says that the spondee is best preceded by a cretic (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.97), as it is at the end of one of these sentences (Gal 3,4b). However, Quintilian says that two spondees should not end a sentence (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.97.101). This is the case twelve times in Galatians (19); three times this is because the sentence ends with ∆Ihsou' Cristou' (Gal 1,12; 3,26.28). The third most common foot at the end of the sentences in Galatians is the dactyl. It is found twenty-four times (20). As noted above, both Cicero and Dionysus of Halicarnassus commend the dactyl. Quintilian approves ending with a dactyl (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.104). Galatians’ sentences also end with iamb (fourteen times), paean (fourteen times), cretic (eleven times), anapest (eleven times), tribrach (eight times) and hypobacchius (once) (21). As noted above, Cicero disapproves of iamb and tribrach; Dionysus of Halicarnassus says that the iamb is not ignoble, but the tribrach is a mean foot; Quintilian seems to say it is acceptable to end a sentence with an iamb if it is preceded by a spondee or bacchius (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.99-100), but he agrees that the tribrach does not make a good ending (Institutio Oratoria 9.4.105). In Galatians the final iamb is preceded by a spondee four times (Gal 3,15a; 4,16; 6,5.10). Cicero approves of paean and cretic; the cretic is also praised by (17) In Gal 1,17; 2,17b; 3,10b.21b.25; 4,27.28; 5,1a.14.23a.26; 6,3.
