• Source: Comma (rhetoric)

In Ancient Greek rhetoric, a comma (κόμμα komma, plural κόμματα kommata) is a short clause, something less than a colon.
In the system of Aristophanes of Byzantium, commata were separated by middle interpuncts.
In antiquity, a comma was defined as a combination of words that has no more than eight syllables.
