The paper deals with a selection of linguistic features of Priscian’s Latin (6th century AD), namely the use of the indefinite pronoun and adjective after a negation, the declension of Greek loan-words with nominative ending in - ys , and the use of verbal moods and tenses in concessive clauses. The inquiry takes advantage of the new ongoing collation of the 8th–10th-century manuscripts of the Ars Prisciani , which enables ascription to Priscian’s linguistic use of some peculiar syntactic and morphological features that had been obliterated by the standardizing attitude of the former critical editor, Martin Hertz
