In correspondence F. most places are taken by recommendations regarding the selection of words and their place in the sentence. F. believed that from the time of Cicero, whom he greatly valued, have spread too much freedom and carelessness in the selection of words and their construction disappeared desire to exact phrasing. F. advocates a return to the old writers, from whom he borrows sentences, speed, expression, using phraseological statement. F. sought a way to revive the Latin language and Roman literature. But despite these efforts, he could not avoid being influenced by the style of his era and wrote an artificial language, weighted and places colored archaisms. F. gathered around a circle of supporters archaic style, which was called by its name gables. This passion for old literature and the tendency to look at her designs have appeared in the days of August. One of the predecessors of V. Valery was Probus. During the reign of Hadrian, this movement is experiencing the highest growth. Long after the death of F. find followers, and later writers (especially in the III. n. e.) often took him for a sample.
