By some authors, this has been improperly identified with Hyper'baton, or elegant inversion; as may be seen under the word Synchysis in Littleton's Dictionary, or in Holmes's Rhetoric, at page 58th.

Synchysis literally means confusion, or commixtion; and, in grammar, is significant only of some poetical jumble of words, some verbal kink or snarl, which cannot be grammatically resolved or disentangled: as, "Is piety thus and pure devotion paid?" Milton, P. L., B. xi, l. 452.

from synchysis Hyperbole, defined Hyperboles, by what commonly expressed Hypermeter, meaning of, in scansion Hyphen, its uses present use in compound names Rules for the insertion of, in compounds signif.

Synchysis, what was so termed by some of the ancients; is different from hyperbaton; its import in gram.

The construction is an unparsable synchysis, a vile snarl, which no grammarian should hesitate to condemn.
