PREFACE.


THIS Edition aims at two ends. Firstly, it seeks
to supply scholars and critics with an adequate
apparatus criticus. Such an apparatus can be had
only in Ritschl's ed. of the Miles, which is long
since out of print.  The present edition gives
the readings of BCD throughout, and those of A
whenever they are recorded by Ritschl, Geppert,
or Studemund. Moreover, it aims at embodying
the results of the most important critical labours
on the Miles from the time of Ritschl's ed. to the
present year.  For this purpose I have carefully
studied the German periodicals which have appeared
since the ed. of Dr. Brix, I875. Dr. Brix remarks
how rich in Plautine criticism was the quarter of
a century which intervened between Ritschl's ed.
and his own. Even since Brix much has been
done: indeed, so great is the energy with which
Plautine studies are being prosecuted in Germany,
that no edition can claim to represent the best text
of a play of Plautus for more than a few years

after it is published. For instance, on the verse,
Cur. 317 -os amarum habeo, dentis plenos, lippiunt fauces fame,
Koch elegantly conjectured lacrumarum for os amar-um. This was evidently a step in the right direction,
and it was at once accepted by Lowe, Gotz, and
Scholl, in their new ed. of Ritschl's Plautus (Curculio, 1879). But there is in the Rheiisches Museum
for this year, p. 7z, an emendation by Fr. Biicheler,
which bids fair to oust the conjecture of Koch from
the position which it has just won. For os amarum,
Biicheler reads gramarum, a word which contains
more of the letters of the ms reading than lacruma-um, and which most admirably suits the context.
Grama = X4/uV is attested by Festus, Nonius, and
several other Grammarians, and is just the word
which would have puzzled the copyist, who would
have recognised a familiar Latin word in the last
letters of gr-amarum, and would have substituted
os by an easy conjecture for the perplexing gr-. On
an important passage, therefore, the L6we-G6tzSch6ll ed. of Ritschl's Plautus is already antiquated.
Truly the Plautine critic writes in sand.
In Introd. III I have given an account of the
chief places in which I introduce into the text
conjectures of my own, or vindicate the reading
of the mss from  the conjectures of others. My
principle, it will be seen, is always to adhere as

closely as possible to the authority of the mss.
I have in every case presented the reading of the
mss (for an account of which see Introd. III), so
that the scholar can always have before him the
means of forming a judgment of his own, and of
criticising the judgments of others.
My second aim has been to provide students with
a fit introduction to the study of Plautus. For this
purpose I have been careful to comment on those
peculiarities of accidence and syntax, which make
the beginner fancy that in studying Plautus he is
studying almost a new language, or at least a new
dialect. And I think I have left no difficulty unexplained. The work of P. Langen which has just
appeared, Beitrdge zuir Kriti'k uznd Erkldrung des
Plaulus, is extremely useful as a treatise on Plautine
syntax and phraseology. My constant guides have
been the edd. of Aug. Lorenz, 1869, and of Julius
Brix, 1875. To these, and especially to the latter, I
own the largest indebtedness. The ed. of Brix,
especially for illustration, is invaluable. In this
part of an Editor's task, this preeminent Plautine
critic has left little to be done by his successors.
But the text of the Aiiles has been much improved since his work appeared; indeed he himself, writing in the various continental periodicals,
has largely contributed to this improvement. And
an emended text of course calls for a new commentary. A comparison of the present text with




viii               PREFAI CE.
that of Weise in 1847 would give one a vivid impression of the extent to which PIautine criticism
has been revolutionised in thirty years.
I have referred to the plays of Plautus (except
the Miles) according to Acts and Scenes, because
there is no edition of all the plays in which the
verses are numbered continuously; but I have referred to the plays of Terence as numbered
throughout.
In Introd. V will be found some attempts of
my own at versifying in the style and manner of
Plautus.




INTRODUCTION.
T.
THE Miles Gloriosus is, as we learn from verse 86 of
the play, founded on the 'AXatv of some Greek poet
now unknown to us. But it seems highly probable
that Plautus in this play resorted to contamzinaio,
and introduced into the first scene some portion of a
different Greek original, which may have been the
Ko'Xa of Menander, or (as Ritschl suggests) the
A'pOLr-i-XE7X of Diphilus.  The latter hypothesis
perhaps derives some weight from the fact that in
1055 the  lz'/es is addressed as Vi-bcape, which (as
well as the name of the  il/es, Pyrgopolinices) would
be a literal rendering of the Greek atprcr-EitXS.
Moreover, Plautus affects Diphilus rather than Menander, whom he rarely selects for his model.  The
Bacczhdes probably was taken from the Ahs 'Ear7raarv
of Menander; the Poenulus from the KapxSovwos0;
and the Sz'chus from the 4LXCta8e&Xt; but apparently
no other of the extant plays owes its origin to Menander. In any case, we may assume that the introductory scene is due to contamninai/o, for we can hardly
otherwise account for the fact that Artotrogus so
completely vanishes from the scene after he has fulfilled his function of eliciting an illustration of the
vanity and stupidity of the Braggart Captain.

In one respect the Mules closely resembles the
Czstellaria: as in the Mt'les the introductory scene,
in which the gasconading Pyrgopolinices figures
so amusingly, is followed by an explanation of
the plot quite in the style and fashion of a prologue; so in the Cistellaria the play opens with an
admirable scene, in which the characters of Silenium
and Gymnasium disclose themselves in a conversation with the Lena; and it is only in the third scene
(the Lena having in the second told the story of
Silenium) that the goddess Auxiliuzm speaks the prologue. This feature would no doubt be found in the
Greek exemplar; indeed this treatment of the prologue was originated (as has been observed) by
Euripides in his Iphzigenia in Auhis.t  The prologues
prefixed to the Plautine plays are no doubt, as a rule,
spurious. This is proved by the style, which exaggerates the ruggedness of Plautine diction and metre,
and by frequent references to Plautus in a manner
which seems to imply that he is no longer living (see,
-* The prologues prefixed to the plays of Plautus are far more
Euripidean than those of Terence, who uses them as vehicles for
a defence of his own literary views, and to rebut the strictures
of adverse critics. In this respect the latter rather resemble
the parabasis of Greek comedy. The former are subservient
to the explanation of the plot (as with Euripides), but are
often disfigured by cumbrous attempts at humour, and ponderous bantering of the audience.  Most of the prologues
are post-Plautine; and even the genuine ones are full of additions and interpolations, as may be observed in the prologues of
the Mercator, Trinummus, and Truculentus.  Plautus follows
Menander in often assigning his prologue to some god, as to the
Lar in Aulularia; to Arcturus in the Rudens; to Luxuria in
the Trinummus; sometimes, also, to one of the personae, as in
the Mercator; or to an actor speaking in the name of the poet,
as in the Truculentus. The Terentian prologues are spoken by
an actor dressed for the purpose, and bearing an olive branch as
a suppliant for the favour and indulgence of the spectators.

for instance, the prologues to the Asinaria, Menaechmi,
Casina, Pseudulus); but the most definite proof of the
post-Plautine origin of many of the prologues is that
adduced by J. L. Ussing,- namely, that many of them
clearly refer to a sitting body of spectators, whereas
we know that in B. c. 154, thirty years after the death
of Plautus, when Cassius Longinus began, in his
censorship, to build a theatre of stone, the senate
prohibited him, and enacted: " ne quis in urbe propiusue passus mille subsellza poszusse sedensue ludos
spectare uellet."t In this play the speech of Palaestrio, which does duty for a prologue, consists of
three parts-(i) 79-87, which was probably part of a
post-Plautine prologue prefixed to the play, and not
spoken by Palaestrio; (2) 88-94, a part of another
alternative prologue used by another company of
actors; (3) 95-155, the remains of the original
Plautine speech of Palaestrio.
This is not the only place in which this play bears
traces of incompleteness, and of the want of a final
revision. At 185 Periplecomenus says dxz' ego zstuc,
though he could not possibly have communicated
with Philocomasium, because he has not left the
stage-a fact which he recognises when he says nuntlabo in 196. Moreover, it is most unnatural that at
such a critical moment Periplecomenus and Palaestrio should waste so much time on general reflections
on the female sex, instead of at once apprising Philocomasium of her danger. Again, from 600-765
the action of the piece absolutely stops while Periplecomenus, hardly interrupted by an occasional
exclamation from Pleusicles and Palaestrio, indulges
in a very prolix, though very clever, diatribe on the

blessedness of celibacy, the affectations of society,
and the shallowness of its refinement. In fact, as
0. Ribbeck observes, the whole second act is, in the
subsequent progress of the piece, virtually ignored.
Even the injunctions, 805 ff., never come to anything. And it is not till verse 1175 that the instructions are given to Palaestrio on which he really
acts, in carrying out his part in the overreaching
of the Miles. These and other inconsistencies are
too great to be ascribed to that greedy carelessness which was noticed by Horace; ` and they
have led Dziazko to the conclusion that the play is
the result of elaborate conlaminalho; perhaps, however, they may be best explained by the theory of the
existence of a second acting edition-a theory which
certainly falls in with the character of the prologuespeech already referred to, and seems in itself a far
from improbable hypothesis.
Yet, in spite of these defects, the play is excellent
reading, and we must remember that such blemishes
in artistic execution would be hardly noticeable
in a piece which must have far more resembled
an opera bouffe than a modern comedy. The plays of
Plautus 'were acted without any division into acts
and scenest or any pause, except when the plot
required that an actor should leave the stage at the
end of one scene and appear again at the beginning
of the next. In these cases a libzcen entertained the
spectators while the stage was empty. This is expressly referred to in the Pseudulus at the end of the
first Act, and no doubt under these circumstances the
tlibicen was always resorted to; but except in such
cases there was no pause in the acting. Another

feature, too, in a Plautinefabula presents a strong
contrast to the modern comedy. All the play, except scenes written in iambic senarii, was sung to
the accompaniment of a /ibia, for it seems certain
that all the scenes except those written in iambic
senarii were can/tla, and the senarii alone were diverbzia.  It will be seen, therefore, that a very small
portion of the Miles was spoken like a modern
comedy; by far the larger part was sung, short
scenes being occasionally spoken, as in the modern
opera bouffe.
In many respects the lMiles Gloriosus is the most
interesting of the plays of Plautus. We meet, in the
broad burlesque of the first scene of the play and
the second scene of Act III, excellent specimens
of the characteristic vis comzca of Plautus; and we
have, in the elaborate moralising of Periplecomenus,
600 if., a scene which might well have been written
by Terence in his happiest vein. It was not the
favourite play of Plautus himself, or even one of his
favourite plays. Cicero (De Sen. 50) says that he
delighted most in the works of his old age: guam
(gaudebat) Truculento Plauhls, quam Pseudulo! And
we find, in a curious passage in the Bacchides, where
the playwright steps out of his way to inveigh
against some incompetent actor, that the favourite
drama of Plautus was the Epdiczust-another instance
to show that authors are not the best judges of the
comparative merits of their own works. The Miles
Gloriosus is interesting as affording the only instance of a personal allusion to be found in the
plays of Plautus.   This is the reference to the

imprisonment of Naevius (ziz if.). From this allusion has been deduced an anterior limit for the date
of the production of the play; and it has been
attempted to deduce a posterior limit from the allusion to the secret society of the Bacchae in verse o 101 6.
But neither inference gives a very definite period:
see notes on 212.
The plot of the play is as follows:Pleusicles, a young Athenian, is in love with an
Athenian girl, Philocomasium. During the absence
of Pleusicles on a public mission to Naupactus, Pyrgopolinices, the Braggart Captain who gives to the
play its name, meets Philocomasium at Athens, and
finally succeeds in carrying her off to Ephesus. He
keeps her in his house at Ephesus against her will,
and without the knowledge of her mother. Palaestrio, the faithful slave of Pleusicles, determines to
acquaint his master with the abduction of Philocomasium, and accordingly he takes ship for Naupactus. The ship is captured by pirates, and Palaestrio
is sent to Ephesus as a present from his captor to
the Miles. He recognises Philocomasium, and they
begin to concert a plan for her deliverance. Pleusicles, on receiving a letter from Palaestrio, comes to
Ephesus, and resides at the house of Periplecomenus,
a hospitable and cultivated old gentleman, a nextdoor neighbour of the M'iles. Periplecomenus heartily
throws himself into the scheme for restoring Philocomasium to her lover. And in the meantime, to
secure their immediate access to each other, they
open a secret door in the party wall which separates
the house of Periplecomenus from the chamber in
the house of the Miles in which Philocomasium is
imprisoned.
Now begins the action of the play, the scene of

which is Ephesus throughout. The stage shows the
houses of the Miles and of Periplecomenus. 
Sceledrus, a slave of the Miles, especially charged
with the safe keeping of Philocomasium, while walking on the roof, which in ancient houses seems to
have been a favourite lounge for idle servants, witnesses through the zimphtz'uam one of the interviews
between Pleusicles and Philocomasium. This is a
serious mishap, and Palaestrio addresses himself
to the task of obviating evil results therefrom.
If Sceledrus should tell the Miles what he has seen
they are undone.  There is no resource but to persuade him out of belief in the evidence of his senses.
Accordingly Palaestrio persuades his fellow-slave,
Sceledrus, that Glycera, a twin-sister of Philocomasium, as like her as is one drop of milk to another,
has come to Ephesus, and is living with her lover at
the house of Periplecomenus. Philocomasium pretends to be Glycera. It is managed that she shall be
seen by Sceledrus sacrificing to Diana of the Ephesians, in gratitude for her preservation from the
dangers of the deep, and her safe arrival in Ephesus.
Sceledrus is fully persuaded that he was mistaken in
supposing that he had seen Philocomasium in the
house of Periplecomenus, and is much alarmed
about the punishment which may be inflicted on him
at the instance of Philocomasium for his mistake.
Here ends Act II, which is virtually the first Act
of the play; for Act I consists of only one scene, in
which the stupidity and vanity of the Miles is displayed in a very well-written dialogue with a parasite, Artotrogus, who does not afterwards appear.
With Act III the play takes a wholly new departure.


* According to Dziazko there was, in some acting editions at
least, a third house on the stage, belonging to Acroteleutium.

Palaestrio undertakes the task of overreaching the
Miles himself. For this purpose he conceives the
design of persuading the Miles that he is loved to
distraction by the wife of his neighbour, Periplecomenus. The part of the wife is assigned to a clever
merelrix, Acroteleutium.
Thus ends the third Act, which is 850 verses in
length. Yet the action of the piece hardly moves at
all. Most of the Act consists of a long canzicum, in
which Periplecomenus discourses on marriage and
society in general; this monologue, as it may be described, though very clever and amusing, is quite irrelevant. There is an amusing diverbium (812-873),
in which the drunkenness of Sceledrus is brought
into prominence, to account for the facility with
which Philocomasium eludes his surveillance.
In Act IV Palaestrio informs the Mlli'les of his
bonne fortune, and persuades him that he ought to
send away Philocomasium, to clear the way for the
enamoured wife of his neighbour. He tells the
Mliles that the mother and sister of Philocomasium
have just arrived at Ephesus, and wish to convey away
the girl, so that an opportunity offers for making
room for the wife of Periplecomenus. But Philocomasium affects to be overcome with grief at the
prospect of parting from the Miles, who, to console
her, gives her very handsome presents to take with
her, and, at her request, allows Palaestrio to accompany her. Accordingly she is conveyed away by her
lover Pleusicles, who assumes the disguise of the
skipper of the ship which is to carry her, her
mother, and her sister to Athens.
The Miles is then introduced by Milphidippa (who
pretends to be the servant of the unfaithful wife) into
the house of Periplecomenus, on the pretence that he
is there to meet his innamorala. Thus ends Act IV.

In Act V, which consists of one short scene, the
Mt7es is discovered in the house of Periplecomenus,
and after a sound cudgelling is allowed to escape
only after he has taken an oath that he will not
attempt to seek any satisfaction for the injuries he
has incurred. Sceledrus discloses to the Miles that
the pretended skipper was no other than the lover of
Philocomasium, gives his verdict for the poetical
justice of the denouement, and points out the moral
lesson to be drawn from the play.
It will be seen thus that the play is not well constructed. The whole of the second act might have
been omitted, as dealing with a very minor incident.  The third is nearly all surplusage-even the
interview between Pleusicles and the Miles which is
contemplated in vv. 805-8I3 comes to nought; nor
does Pleusicles meet the Miles after this until he
appears disguised as the nauclerus. It is the very
great cleverness of the dialogue, and the vigour
with which the characters, especially the female
characters, are drawn, which has secured for the
Miles Glorzosus so leading a position among the
plays of Plautus.
Acroteleutium closely resembles Fidicina andAcropolistis in the Epidicus, as regards her cleverness,
her impudence, and her candid avowal of complete
depravity. Plautus does not fail to express his condemnation of her class in verse 786:
Quoique sapiat pectus: nam cor non potest quod nulla habet,
just as in the Cistellaria i. I. 66 Gymnasium asks:
unde est tibi cordolium, obsecro,
quod neque ego habeo neque quisquam alia mulier ut perhibent
uiri.
In her cynical avowal of depravity, Acroteleutium
may be classed with Cleaereta in the Asinaria, and

Phronesium in the Truculentus. Philocomasium, in
her faithfulness to Pleusicles, and her contempt for
the wealthy Miles, is a representation of that comparatively high type of meretrzx which Plautus often
draws.  Such is Meflaenis in the Cistellaria; and
Gymnasium in the same play has a redeeming
feature in her love for her mother and Silenium.
Philenium in the Asznaria, and Lemniselene in the
Persa, like Philocomasium, entertain an honest
passion, and, like her, are constrained. Philocomasium is a cleverer Pasicompsa, and is, on the whole,
one of the most pleasing of the girls of Plautus.
Unquestionably the most agreeable portrait of a
girl of this class is to be found in the Abosellarna in
Philematium, whose love for Philolaches, and girlish delight in dress, are very natural and charming.
Many of the names of the characters explain
themselves. Pyrgopolinices is probably a reminiscence of Apr7aLoreCXYs, even if the first scene be not
taken from that play of Diphilus.  Other Milies
Glorzosi in Plautus are Polymachaeroplagides (Pseud.);
Anthemonides, or Antamynides (Poen.); Therapontigonus Platagidorus (Cur.); Cleomachus (Bacch.);
Stratippocles (Epid.); Stratophanes (Truc.). Artotrogus (aprov TrpWyw), " Trencherman," is a natural name for a Parasite. Thrason and Gnatho are
the corresponding titles for Braggart and Parasite
in Ter. Eun.  Palaestrio is from  raXtaro-'rpa.  Palaestra is found as a girl's name in the Rudens (cp.
Gymnasium in the Cistellarla). Periplecomenus (i.e.
7rEpLTrXQEKOLEvoS) until the ed. of Ritschl was written
Periplectomenes, as it is found in the mss, which
in their treatment of this word exemplify two of
their most besetting errors: first, the name was
written Pernzleccomenes by a doubling of the c; then
one of the c's was mistaken for a /: see note on
o00.  Pleusicles is generally written Pleusides in




INTR OD UCTIONX


xix


the mss, owing to the common confusion between
d and cl in cursive mss; thus we find dibeo for ciipeo,
dicentam for chlen/am, danculum for clanculum.  He
is called Pleusicles, probably, in allusion to his disguise as a nauclerus.  We meet a Pleusidippus in
the Rudens. Sceledrus is, probably, so called that a
play may be made on sceels, as is done in 289, 330,
494. See n. on 289. Philocomasium would naturally be "fond (or favourite) of the Kiwfi/o," and
-asium is a common termination of female names,
as in Adelphasium in the Poenzlus. For Lurczo, see
notes on 842. For the termination of Milphidippa,
we have a parallel in Pleusidippus (Rudens) and
Philippa (Epidicus). The name seems to have no
further meaning. The name Acroteleutium (cp.
Acropolistis in Epid.) is generally supposed to refer
to the "extreme finish" of her powers of deception;
more probably she is called " Mistress Fagend " in
reference to her degraded condition. Cario is named
from his nationality; cp. Geta, Lydus, Syrus.
It was the custom on the Roman stage that old
men should appear in white wigs. Periplecomenus
is albicapillus in 63I. Young men wore black wigs,
slaves red; hence Geta says: s' quis me quaeref
rufus Ter. Ph. 5. These wigs were sometimes worn
instead of masks. It may perhaps be conjectured,
from the description of the meditating Palaestrio,
200 ff., that masks were not worn in the acting
of this play.  The Parasite wore the black or
grey cloak which is assigned to his calling in
Comedy.'' The Mi'les wore the erteLo-Eros (KO/Try), or
comic mask, with hair hanging over the forehead;
and the'rest of his trappings consisted of thepetasus,

the chlamys, and the machaera. The other characters
wore the usual Greek dress.'Y
The scene is Ephesus, the street in front of the
houses of Periplecomenus and the Miles, which latter was to the left of the spectator, as may be inferred
from verses 36i, i216. Before the house of Periplecomenus was the altar which usually stood on the
Greek stage; it was in strictness sacred to Apollo,
but could be used for sacrifices to other deities; as,
for instance, to Diana in this play, 411 if.
II.
THAT the prosody of Plautus differs widely from the
prosody of the Augustan poets is universally acknowledged. Many attempts have been made to mitigate this difference, or at least to bring the various
discrepancies under a few rules. In carrying out
such attempts editors have sometimes resorted to
conjecture in the most unsparing fashion, and in
many cases have finally been forced to give up some
of their rules, to introduce others, and indeed not
so much to modify their former views as to propound
altogether new ones. This will appear clearly from
a comparison of Ritschl's Preface to the Trinummus
(prefixed to his ed. of i848) with his Neue Plautinische -Excurse, 1869.
The broad discrepancies between Plautine and
Augustan prosody may be classified under four
heads:(A) Long vowels found short in Plautus.
(B) Short vowels found long in Plautus.
(C) Large tolerance of hiatus in Plautus.
(D) Large tolerance of synizesis in Plautus.
* Lor. Introd. 7-Io. The Miles but slightly resembles Bobadil in Ben Jonson's Every man in his humour. The denouement
reminds us of the Merry Wives of Windsor.

I will take each of these in order.
(A).-LONG VOWELS SHORTENED.
We find in ancient Latin Comedy vowels long
both by (a) nature and (/D) by position scanned as
short, as (a) nouo liberlo: (/3) pater zienzi.
Now to meet this difficulty four courses have been
taken. (a) It has been attempted to emend all the
verses in which these irregularities occur; (b) a
sort of slurring pronunciation has been supposed
whereby nouo, paler were pronounced as one syllable;
(c) it has been held that the law of position was
neglected by the early poets; (d) it has been accounted for by the influence of accent on early Latin
metre.
The first (a) is obviously most unscientific. After
we have emended hundred of places, hundreds more
will remain to defy emendation. Yet this very unscientific method has been largely followed by the
earlier edd. of Plautus. Wherever the remedy was
easy, they made the verse conform to Augustan
prosody, but where it was difficult they left the anomaly untouched, and attributed it to the licentious
and barbarous versification of the early poets; for
instance, in ita hic senex Mil. 267, Pylades restores
the metre, as he thinks, by omitting hzc, yet he leaves
untouched scores of places in the ilfMiles, where the
same apparent anomaly exists, but where no obvious
remedy presents itself. The second course (b) has
found a champion in the late Prof. Keys. He holds
that soror was pronounced soor, and paler paer, and
appeals to the Romance languages where soror and
pater appear as soeur, pere. But this theory would be
applicable to only a very limited number of words if




Xxii

it were applicable at all, and does not (as Ritschl
pointed out) account for the fact that mater andfra/er
are not found as monosyllables in Latin Comedy,
though in French they are treated in exactly the
same way as pa/er pere. The third theory (c), namely
that the early Latin poets often neglected the law
of position, at first seems plausible. But against
the theory that the law of position was neglected by
Plautus there lies this great objection, that it explains
only one of two sets of phenomena which seem to
be closely connected: it would, if true, explain the
shortening of a vowel long by posi/zon, but not the
shortening of a vowel long by nature. We come
therefore (d) to the last course left open to the investigator of the peculiar features of Plautine prosody.
We must seek some explanation of his strange
shortening of long syllables whether long by nature
or long by position. And if one theory will serve to
explain all these phenomena, that theory will, of
course, the more recommend itself to our acceptance.
Such a theory was first suggested by the great
Bentley in his Schediasma on the metres of Terence,
and this constitutes one of the greatest achievements of that illustrious scholar, though the treatise,
as the name imports, was only a hastily executed
brochure on a subject calling for close and prolonged
observation and research.  Bentley observed that
the natural prose accent of the word almost always
coincided with the ic/us of the verse; land, to bring
out this more clearly in his edition of Terence, he for
the first time indicated each arsis of the verse by an
acute accent. Bentley, no doubt, pushed his principles much too far; and he resorted far too unsparingly to conjecture in the attempt to reduce Terence
to a complete conformity with his rule. But the root of

the matter was in his view. The key to the apparent
license of Plautine prosody is to be found in the influence of accent on early Roman poetry-an influence
which in the subsequent literature was completely
subordinated to the rigorous classification of every
syllable as long or short. The influence of the
accent on archaic prosody has been excellently explained and illustrated by Dr. Julius Brix in his
Introduction to the Trinummus.     The following
views are mainly those of Dr. Brix, and do not claim
any originality except in the statement of the rules,
which I have endeavoured to make as general as
may be without being cumbrous. Two general rules
may be formulated as follows:(i). In words, or combizna/zons of words, forming in
ordinary prosody an iambus, if the accent (or ictus
metricus) be on the first syll., the long unaccented
syll. is shortened whether it be naturally long or long
by Wsition, as noou liberlo, pr-ocl recedas, pol hzc quidem, quod znelleexzi; and this rule holds good even
though the long unaccented syll. be fused by elision
with another word, as nouo irnalzu.
This rule illustrates the influence of the accent
forward on a succeeding syll. The second illustrates
the influence of the accent backward on a preceding
syll. It may be stated as follows:(2). In words orcombizations of words similarly forming a bacchius (, - -), if the accent (or ictus metricus)
be on the third syll., the second is shortened, whether
it be naturally long or long by position, as nouo quodam, taberndculo, senect/iz ferentdriun, per dnnnanm,
sed uixoremn; and this rule holds good also in cases of
elision, as sczio bsiirde, ita ut dicis.
It will be convenient here to refer to several exemplifications of this rule in the Anapaestic passage,
1011-1093:-tibi ex6ptatum ioI; breuln an Iozo;




INTR OD UCt7TION.


maxume c6ncinnum    o24; amat mulier o026; impera
s 1031; adimuflier 1037; dignir fuit 1043; nisi hul
uerri 1059; talentuim 1o61; mer b6llatores 1077; abls
quando xo85; abls abeo 1o87; gubernabunt o091.
These rules account for 90 per cent. of the instances of long vowels shortened by PI. The remaining instances coming under the heading A will
be accounted for by one of the following rules:(a') s may be always omitted in Plautine scansion,
e. g. saluos sis, estis nunc, ludzficatls sit. This license
is of course familiar to students of early Latin. It
occurs once in Catullus, often in Lucretius, Lucilius, &c., and three times in one verse of EnniusTurn lateralis dolor certissumus nuntius mortis.
(/') Ancient inscriptions testify to the fact that in
early Latin certain final consonants were dropped in
very common words: for apud guidem parum soror
caput dedit enim we find apu quide paru soro capu dedi
(y') Words in very common use, such as ille, isle,
unde, inde, nempe, esse, ecce, ergo, profecto, lose the length
of the penult; indeed ille sometimes vanishes in
elision.  So also exclamations, as edepol, which is
often treated as a dissyll.
(8') With instances of long vowels shortened may
be classed the fact that in early Latin a syll. naturally
short cannot be lengthened by standing before a mute
and a liquid. Hence the verse
Si falsa dices, Lucrio, excruciabere
cannot be Plautine, and has been corrected by the
change of Lucrio into Lurczb.


* The rule operates even when the last long syll. of the
bacchius is resolved, as in am6r misericordia Ter Andr. i. 5. 26.

(E') Frus/rd is found in six passages in PI., as also
in Prudentius.
(') Imperatives are short, as ama, iube, lene, abi,
reperi (226).
B.-SHORT VOWEL LENGTHENED.
We now come to the second heading, (B)-short
vowels found long in P1. The influence of Accent
is not in this case operative, and we shall simply
have to give a list of archaic long vowels.
(i). a is long in nom. and voc. sing. of ist decl.,
chiefly in proper names, as Sosia, Leonida, but
possibly also in common nouns. Fleckeisen defends the mss where they give epistuld, liberd, zieptia,
lessera; but Ritschl, Muller, and Ussing correct these
passages.
(2). es, gen. i/is, is sometimes long, as mzles; and
es from sum is always long, but ad&s 1030.
(3). or is long in substantives, as amor; comparatives, as auctior; verbs, asfaleor; and even particles,
as ecas/or.
(4). i is long in 5th decl., as fide Aul. 575.
(5). e in abl. of 3rd. is sometimes long, e.g. zixore
MIil. 699; morte 707.
(6). -bas in dat. and abl. plur. is defended by
some editors.
(7). In adverbs and conjunctions modo is common; immo is always long; zrz'iir is defended by
some edd.
(8). In verbs, -e of the infin. is sometimes long, as
promere Mil. 848; diceri 1346; -c/, -e/, -t/, and -is in
pres. perf. and fut. ind. and subj. So -cr, -or (and,
according to some, -iir). Es from sum, as we have
seen, is always long in PI.; and in fieri (ferem), &c.
the first syll. is long.

C.-HIATUS.
Hiatus has always been, and probably will long be,
the chief subject of difference among Plautine
scholars. To obviate hiatus, Ritschl, in his ed.
of I848, resorted very largely to conjecture; and
afterwards, in his Neue Plautinische Excurse (I869),
he rashly introduced an ablatival d, not only into
nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, but also into adverbs, prepositions, and imperatives. By means of
this device, together with the hypothesis of a nom.
plur. of ist decl. in -as, and the introduction of
forms like cubi, cunde, for ubi, unde, Ritschl almost
drove hiatus out of the plays of Plautus. But soberer
councils now prevail, and in the following cases
hiatus is admitted by all judicious edd.:(I). At a change of speakers.
(z). In the ccesura of the verse.
(3). In the diceresis of the verse; that is, in those
verses which fall naturally into two parts, as octonarian and septenarian iambics and trochaics, and
cretic tetrameters.
To these may be added (though by no means
generally admitted)(4). Hiatus (Fleckeisen's) after monosyllables ending in a long vowel or m, the long vowel which
suffers hiatus being shortened, as
qui sis tam pulcer. uel illae quae hen pallio.
id duim ero amanti seruos nuntiare uolt.
(5). Hiatus (Spengel's) after dissyllables in a resolved arsis, the long vowel being shortened, as here
Athenis Mil. 439; mihl amantz 62I.

(6). Hz'atus in the thesis of the fifth foot in senarii,
as
utinam fortuna nunc anatina II utercr.-Rud. ii. 6. 49.
nam fulguritae sunt alternac ([ arbores.-Trin. ii. 4. 138.
Ritschl utterly rejects this hiazus.  In the first
verse quoted he would read ana//nad; in the second
he introduces alZernas as a nom. plur. of ist decl.
(7). Haz/us in the interests of the sense; when
there is a full stop, and a new clause begins, as
Sed iixorem ante aedis eccam. Ei misero mihi; *
or when the actor is intended to pause, as
nunc edepol demum in memoriam regredior quom cogito
quasi per nebulam j| Hegionem patrem meum uocarier.
In this case editors usually read nebulas; Weise
actually supposes the first syll. of nebulam to be
lengthened. But it may well be supposed that the
actor was intended to pause after nebulam in his
dreamy retrospect of childhood, just as Hamlet
says:
Miust give us pause. There's the respect,
where a whole foot is left out to bring into prominence the fact that after the word pause the sense requires a lengthened stop. For the same reason, that
the structure of the verse may, by a moliminous
movement, reflect the thought, Euripides writes:
"ArTas 6 XaAIKeoorL vc&TOLs ovpav4v,
where he might, of course, have easily written
instead:
'ArTasc 6 VCTroLs xaAXte'olro ovpavt6v.


* If we scanned uxorem, and made no hiatus, the accent
would be violated throughout.

(8). After vocatives, as in Mil. 1326:
nam nil miror si lubenter, Philocomasium, hic eras,
where, however, tu is usually inserted before hic

Hiatus after interjections is common to all poetry.
D.-SYNIZESIS.
All the dissyll. cases of the following may be
pronounced as monosyll.:-Deus, meus, tuus, suus, is,
so quoius, huius, re, dies, diu,fui, ait, eat, and even eunt,
trium, duas, cluens, scio, prius.  So deorum, &c., are
dissyl., as well as nescio, fuisli, puella, eamus, istius,
duellum (which is never trisyll.).   Diutius, exeundum
are trisyll., as well as quieuerint (quiesce is sometimes
dissyll.) and  obliuzsci.  Compounds     always   suffer
synizesis, as proinde, praeopfare, deerrare, dehortor. Such
contractions as fiyo, gaudyo, grafyas are found only
in the difficult metres.    Grathis and ingratz's are
always free from     synizesis.  Ei may be scanned
either ez, ei, or as one syll.; eidem is eidem, eidem, or
dissyll.
Subjoined is a description of the metres found in
the Miles:

The mss of the Miles, of the readings of which a
record is given in the critical notes, are:(i). B, the codex vetzs of Camerarius, a cursive ms
of the I Ith century. It contains all the extant plays.
It was discovered by Camerarius in the middle of the
i6th century. It is now in the Vatican.
(2). C, the codex decur/atus of Camerarius, now at
Heidelberg. It is also cursive, and was written in
the I2th century. It contains only the last twelve
plays. It should be explained that when one speaks
of the first eight plays of Plautus one means Amphztruo, Asinaria, Aulularia, Caplivi, Casina, Cistellarza, Curculo, Epidicus; and the last twelve are
Bacchides, lMenaechmi, and the remainder in alphabetical order. The plays follow each other in the mss
in alphabetical order, the only exception being the
Bacchides, where the chronological order has been
substituted for the alphabetical.
(3). D, the codex Ursinianus or Valicanus, a cursive
ms of the I2th century. Early in the I5th century it
was brought from Germany by one Nicholas of Treves
to Cardinal Orsini at Rome, by whom it was lodged
in the Vatican, where it now is. It contains the
last twelve plays of Plautus, with the Amphi/rruo, Asinaria, AuZularia, and half the Captzvi (to iii. 2. 4).
This ms was for a long time the only authority




XXX

for the last twelve plays of Plautus; only the first
eight plays were known in the beginning of the 5th
century; the last twelve had disappeared. D closely
agrees with C, so that it seems probable that they
come from a common archetype.
(4). A, the codex Ambrosianus, now in the Ambrosian Library at Milan. It was discovered by A. Mai
in the Ambrosian Library. It is probably of the
5th century; but in the 8th century it was washed
and scraped to receive a copy of the Book of Kings.
Thus the original writing was greatly obliterated,
but much of it has been deciphered by the successive
labours of Mai himself, Schwarzmann, Ritschl, Geppert, and Studemund.
BCD, which are sometimes called the Vatican,
Palatine, or Roman ' codices, I have for brevity in my
notes designated by M (as the first letter of manuscript). M signifies BCD together, and I use it as a
singular-" M has," &c. When I speak of the mss
singly I call them, as usual, B, C, D. I give the
reading of A wherever it is recorded: A (R) = A as
read by Ritschl; A (Gepp.) = A as read by Geppert;
A (Stud.) =A as read by Studemund. In addition to
the above, Ritschl sometimes gives the readings of G
and H (Roman codices) and E (bought by Ritschl in
Etruria). These, as being admittedly of altogether inferior value, I never include in my apparatus criticus.
But R gives throughout a full collation of two other
authorities, which I occasionally quote, but do not
give throughout; they are:(5). F, the codex Lipsiensis, a ms of the 15th century, in the possession of the senate of the University of Leipsic. This is hardly deserving of the
name of a ms; it ought rather to be called a state
* B and D are now in Rome; C was removed to Heidelberg

edition, for it was made in the earlier half of the
15th century, probably (says Teuffel) by order of
Alfonso I. of Naples; and represents nothing
more than the authority of the scholars who constructed it. It abounds in conjectures-some good,
some wretched; the emendations are very arbitrary;
the editors (as they may be called), one of whom
was probably Francis Poggio, had hardly any knowledge of Plautine prosody, and they remove his
metrical irregularities whenever an easy conjectural
emendation presents itself, but allow them to stand
when they do not seem easily corrected.
(6). Z, the edhzio prznceps, by G. Merula, Venice,
1472, represents almost the same text as F, and has
proved, therefore, a great stumbling-block to the
earlier editors of Plautus, who were not aware of the
worthlessness of the so-called ms on which it was no
doubt founded. An interesting exemplification of
the way in which FZ misled the early edd. will be
had by referring to my critical foot-note on v. 50, and
at the same time the paramount value of A in Plautine
criticism will be illustrated. The verse in M ran:
at peditas telu quia erant si uiuerent.
F gave, evidently by a conjecture:
at pedites relliquiae erant si uiuerent;
hence the earlier edd., even to Weise:
at peditatus relliquiae erant, si uiuerent.
This verse was supposed to mean "yet they were but
the refuse of the infantry if they were suffered to survive," which is, of course, neither good sense nor
good Latin. Comparing this with the reading of A
as testified to by Studemund, Atpeditastelli'quia erant
sizi uiueren/, we at once see how different is the
value of M (i. e. BCD) and FZ; M only divided the

words wrongly, gave telu for -lelli, and omitted one of
two identical syllables in juxtaposition in sivI vIuerent (this I call lipography in my notes; its converse
is dittography); telu meant nothing and could mislead no one; but F sought to get sense out of the
words, and, by introducing relliquiae, misled all edd.
prior to Ritschl. The great importance of A will be
seen everywhere in my critical notes: when we have
its evidence we should rarely look beyond it. But
M, too, is very valuable, chiefly by reason of the
ignorance of the copyists, which prevents them as a
rule from indulging in conjectures. However, they
sometimes seem to have known just enough Latin to
lead them into error; for instance, in v. 1262, uideres
pol si amares, B gives the words uidere spolia mares,
words which have a meaning, but one utterly alien to
the context. A does not divide the words at all; and
we may suppose that similar was the exemplar used
by the copyist of B; seeing before him VIDERESPOLSIAMARES, he divided it carelessly uidere spolsia mares,
then knowing that spolsia was not a Latin word, he
corrected it to spohia, the word nearest to it in form.
Very many cases like this may be seen by referring
to the critical notes. As a rule, however, M gives
the right letters (subject to the adverse influences of
dittography, lipography, and ablepsy); but the division
of the words is nearly always perversely wrong.
In the ms B the different characters are indicated
by letters of the Greek alphabet. Thus the character who appears first is called A throughout, the
character who appears next is called B, and so on.
In the Trinummus and in the plays of Terence the
letter Q is prefixed to the word "Plaudite." This
probably designates merely the actor who left the
stage last. CANTOR is usually inserted before the
word plaudile in the editions, because Horace, A. P.
155, has the words donec cantor ' uos plaudite' dical.

Hence it has been questioned whether it was one of
the actors who said plaudce, or a person introduced
for this special purpose, and called cantor. It may
be that Horace by the name cantor designates the
zibicen referred to above. Most probably 0 really
only indicates the actor who left the stage last.
BCD of course present the errors common to all
mss, namely, dittography, as zmu   me cogis for ui vme
cogis 454; autem milia for au/em illa; see also 595;
lipography, as mortem ale for mor/em male i63; si vizerent for si' uizierent 50; simile sciat for si miles sciat 309:
ablepsy, as zudificand' for ludifaciundi 99I; pu/atur
for sput/aor 647.
But they labour under a proneness to other errors 
some peculiar to cursive mss may be pointed out here.
(i). They confuse cl and d: see on i.

(3),,     in and m: see on 648.
(4).,,     u and b: see on 853 -(5). All these mss, but especially Ba (see p. xlii),
are prone to add a t to the terminations -esse, -isse
in verbs, as meruisset for meruzisse 547
(6). They erroneously supply or omit the horizontal stroke over a vowel, which stood for m: see 658,
where B preserves the right reading, conZra cum, while
CD, combining errors (2) and (6), give contramtum,
whence arose the reading contra emptum in FZ, and
contra empsim, the conjecture of Lipsius. See also
cr. note on 738, 784.
(7). They often give the wrong person of a tense:
see 923, 926.
(8). Also at and ad, habeo (habes &c.) and abeo,
moechum and mecum, are often confounded.
Good illustrations of the worthlessness of FZ may
be found in these places:(a). 343. For clam se, CD by error (i) gives dam se.
Hence eadem (a very bad conjecture) FZ.

F (followed by Z) misunderstands the metaphorical
use of circus, though it is explained by the rest of the
verse, and reads, by an absurd conjecture, hircus, by
which word the Miles is supposed to be designated.
(d). 1255. Scio edepolfacile; CD present faczo for

statriost; F (followed by Z, as usual) gives for the
corrupt word a conjecture tu. The editors of F did
not know that in scansion obliuiscendi forms a quadrisyllable.
Accordingly I have never allowed the testimony of
FZ to weigh for a moment against MA. Yet a reference to crit. note on 693 will disclose a passage
where all editors from the earliest times have sided
with FZ against the testimony of M and A, supported by Festus.

German editors would do more wisely in thus writing
verses of their own than in showing their ingenuity
by re-writing Plautus, and then publishing their
verses under his name:

THE PLAGUE OF A SERVING MAN.
A plague of my master to send me out this dreadful dark
night to bring the news of his victory to my lady? and was I not
bewitched for going on his errand without a convoy for the safeguard of my person? How am I melted into sweat with fear!
I am diminished of my natural weight above two stone. I shall
not bring half myself home again to my poor wife and family. I
have been in ague fit ever since shut of evening, what with the
right of trees by the highway, which looked maliciously like
thieves by moonshine, and with bulrushes by the river-side that
shaked like spears and lances at me. WVell, the greatest plague
of a servingman is to be hired to some great loid! They care
not what drudgery they put upon us, while they lie lolling at
their ease a-bed, and stretch their lazy limbs.

31o Credo hercle hasce aedis sustollat t6tas atque me in

Hercle, quidquid 6st, mussabo p6tius quam inteream
male.
N6n ego possum, quae fpsa sese u6nditat, tutarier.
PA. Sc6ledre, Sceledre, quis homo in terrast alter ted

Quis magis dis inimicis natus quam tu atque iratfs.
Sc. Quid est?
sI5 PA. Ilben tibi oculos exfodiri, quibus id quod nusquamst uides?
Sc. Quid "nusquam?"      PA. Non 6go tuam empsim
uftam uitiosa nuce.
3Io. This verse runs thus in M: credo ercle assus tollat aedis
totas si (or tota si) tollat atque (or at guem) in crucem. I have
given Fleckeisen's arrangement of the verse. The si tollat was
probably a variant on sustollat, which crept into the text.
311. nmussabo Ed.; zmussitabo M; quidquid est is always a
cretic; hence Bx (iHerm. xiv.) proposed quid id est to save the
metre, but the device adopted in the text is perhaps better.
313. in.... ted R; interemat ialter M. Perhaps the line should
run: Sceledre, quis homo in terra natust alter ted audacior;
Bentley in terris te alter est.  314. quam tu Cam.; quantum M.    315. iuben tibi iublent tibi Ba C Db; a clear case of
dittography; see v. 1oo. 316. tuam empsim uitamLindemann;
empso Bentl.; mutuam ea ipsituitam (tuttd CD) M. The MSS
here changed tuam to mutuam, wrote ai for m in empsim, and
altered the person of the verb (as in verse 319). The first corruption is probably intentional-the copyist thought he had
detected the right word lying hid under tuam; the other errors,
as well as the wrong division of words, are simply errors of sight.

identical letters in juxtaposition (which I call lipography)
is so very common that one might look on all the codices (except
B) as according with A. Moreover, the order of these words
elsewhere in PI. is always homo seruos, I believe (see Capt. iii.
5, 7; Ep. i. i, 58; iii. 1, 7; Stich. i. 2, i). The fact that with
other words, such words as homo caitiuos, the order is reversed
does not prove that the order was a matter of indifference.

there is an ellipse of ei before quae (as A. Palmer has suggested
to me), just as twice in 69I; and that either (I) quae supercilio
spicit describes some woman who practised some obscure mode
of divination from eyebrows; or (2) we should read quae supercilia auspicat, "who augurs from (the twitchings &c. of) eyebrows"; auspico is used with accus. Stich. iii. 2. 46 in this
sense, where auspicare mustellam means " to draw an omen from
a weasel"; and we find in Pseud. i. l. Io5 that the twitching of
the eyebrow was a sign that a hope would be fulfilled, quica

(cp. Accius 620, Caecil. I77) Ribbeck. In I337 atflo in M is
corrected by R to adflictor; perhaps here we should do the
same with haec (hec)fle (tlet); and, supposing amittundam (found
only in B) to be unsound, read nobilitatem ut uideo hanc omnem
adflictor.  Ne fle. Non queo. Thus adflictor would have
been corrupted into haec (hec) fe (fiet) as in I337, and then
would have fallen out before the genuine ne fle which follows.

Lowe (Comm. Philol. p. 237). Thus the reading of Bugge

THE Arguments to the plays of Plautus are of two kinds(I) the acrostichal argument, which is found before all the
extant plays except the Bacchides, the beginning of which
is lost. (2) A non-acrostichal argument, which was, no doubt,
originally prefixed to all the plays, but has perished except
in the ziles, Amphilruo, Aulularia, and Mercator.   The
Ambrosian palimpsest preserves also such an argument to the
Pseudulus, and traces of one to the Persa. These last always
consist of fifteen senarii (except in the lAmphitruo, in which
perhaps five verses are lost, as Ritschl thinks: nothing,
however, is wanting for the explanation of the play). It is
believed by R and others that they are the work of Sulpicius
Apollinaris of Carthage, the teacher of Gellius and Pertinax,
and the author of the -'eriochae prefixed to the plays of Terence
in twelve senarii, and the arguments, in six hexameters, prefixed
to the Books of the Aeneid. Whether the acrostichs are of
the same or a different period it is impossible to determine.
F. Ossan and others hold the acrostichs at least to be the work
of Aurelius Opilius, in the seventh century A. u. c., about Ioo
years after the death of Plautus. Gellius (iii. 3. i) mentions him
as author of indices to the Plautine plays, and probably such
was the nature of his Pinax, which contained an acrostich on
the name Opilius. Both classes of Argument (especially perhaps the acrostichs) out-Plautus Plautus in their roughness of
diction and license of metre-a fact which perhaps should
lead us rather to assign their origin to the Antonine period,
when an imitator would be more likely than in the Sullan
Epoch to get an exaggerated impression of the archaism of
Plautus.




MILES GLORIOS VS.


ARGUMENT I.
3. peregre means in Plautus (a) "to a foreign land";
(b) "from a foreign land"; (c) "in a foreign land," when it
should be written peregri; the word is an old locative, originally peregrei (Corssen, i. 776). The third was its original meaning. Other adverbs having two meanings in Plautus are(I) nusquam, which means no whither as well as no where;
(2) so usguam, cp. Most. iii. 2. I72, hand usquam abscedam;
(3) intus, which means (a) within, (b) from within; but does
not, like peregre, ever convey the sense of motion to; intus
cannot = intro (eo intus et intro sum soloecismi sunt, Quintil. i.
5. 50); therefore imzmo intus potius sequere hac me As. v. 2.
90 is certainly corrupt.
5 eidem. Eihas three metrical values in Plautus-(i) spondee,
as here; (2) iambus, as in the fourth verse of this Argument,
and in Io88; (3) one long syllable, which is its usual metrical
value. Ei in eidem is generally spondee, as here.
6. geminis, an un-Plautine usage. Plautus uses geminus
only with pater, soror, flius (but Terence has geminas nuptias
Andr. 674). Other un-Plautine usages in these two Arguments
are pointed out by Lorenz: (I) ridiculis v. 9, for which Plautus
would have written ridiczuariis or ridiculis modis (we find,
however, ridiculi causa Amph. iii. 2. 36; and per ridiculum
True. ii. 2. 8); ridiculus, masc. sing. and plur., always means
"wag"; (2) poenas luit, v. 14, for poenas pendere, sufferre. In
the Second Argument we have (I) mutuo, v. i, which is not found
before Cicero and Varro, though we have mutuMm ft 1242:
Plautus would have used contra, as in o10. (2) subornat, I4, for
which Plautus would have probably written dat, as in 785.
(3) dimittere, 5, would mean in Plautus "( to allow to disperse,"
and can properly be used only of a plurality; Plautus would have
used amittere. Moreover, for oberrans Arg. i. 8, Plautus would
have most probably written ambulans; for omissam faciat (I I)
missam (or amissam) faciat; for deportat (Arg. ii. 4), avehit;
forfingi (i ), simulat; and for sollicitandum (13), suZectandum, as in Io66; sollicitare in Plautus means "L to torment,"
not "to cajole."
8. tegulis. The Roman houses were undetached, with
party walls in common, and the roofs being much more accessible than in modern houses (St. Luke, v. I9), it was easy to
pass from one housetop to another. Idle slaves seem to have
been fond of frequenting the tegulae and prying into neighbour



NO7TES.                      135
ing houses, as may be gathered from the tone of Periplecomenus, I56, if. Imbrices, which are mentioned with tegulae in
504, and in Most. I. 2. 28, were the semicylindrical tiles which
were used to cover the lines of junction between the rows of flat
tiles (tegulae).
II. omissam   faciat; habere, facere, dare, reddere, cu-rare, iradere, are often used by Plautus and Terence, with the
past participle to denote a completed action. The first two
only are thus used in classical Latin (Draeger, HIist. Syn. i. 295).
The ellipse of ut before faceia and before abeat in 13 is quite
Plautine: cp. datum fzihi esse... nunlirs praesim ac luco'
Amph. Prol. 12; uide qzod opustfiat Men. ii.. 3 3  This ellipse
is frequent after uellefacere and sinere (see 50), but very common
also after optumumst, e. g. scin quid facias ontumumst Men. v.
5. 44; optumumst loces Aul. iii. 6.31; adeam optuuumst As. ii.
4. 42; tacear  optuumumst Epid. i. I. 59; capllumze   promittam
optumumzst Rud. ii. 3. 46; so also after iuslum in Bacch. iv. 9.
7I, iustumst tuos tibi seruos seruiat; and after decretumst in
Poen. ii. 53; we find ellipse of ut after adigere Rud. iii. 3.
9; inzpetrare Trin. ii. 4. 9o; suadere Trin. iii. 2. 55; orare
Amph. i. I. IOI; dicere Stich. iv. 2. 44; mandare Mere. ii. 2.
92; rogare Most. iii. I. 150. We have, moreover, cedo bibam in
Most. ii. I. 26; and date bibat in Stich. v. 5. I6.
ARGUMENT II.
r. ingenuam. Philocomasium was not inevnua, as is plain
from all the references in the play. The writer of the Argument was misled by 490, where not Philocomasium, but the
pretended twin-sister of Philocomasium, is described as ingenua et libera. Hence patre et matre Atticis, the reading of
Lorenz in v. Ioo, can by no means be accepted.
5. uit nuntiaret. naiuigat. This sequence of tenses (common in classical prose after a Praesens historicrn) is not infrequent in Plautus. Conversely, we have below, 13r, dedi... u
deferat.
ACT I.-SCENE I.
r. clupeus was the circular iron shield adopted from the
Etruscans, the Argive or Doric aoiris: the scutum, of wood
covered with leather, and four-cornered, was borrowed from the




MILES GL ORIOSVS.


Samnites. After the Servian reorganization of the army, the
clupeus disappeared entirely, the circular parma, made of
leather, being supplied to the uelites instead.-Guhl and Koner,
p. 57I. For clupeo, dat. instead of gen.: cp. 4, 271, 735, 1431;
iussin in splendorem I dari bullas has foribus nostris As. ii. 4.
20; oculis dolorem v. I. 4; factis monumentum suis Cur. iii. 7 1;
benefactis... architectus Amph. Prol. 44; ei rei argumenta
dicam Most. i. 2. 9; uerbis falsis acceptorfui Trin. i. 2. I67.
So also, no doubt, should be explained non lubes... epulas
fouerifoculisferuentibus Capt. iv. 2. 67, where fcula must be =
nutrimenta, as in Pers. i. 3. 24 (the only other place where this
word is found); tr. "won't you order a hot supper to be
dressed?"
2. olim  quomr.  In old Latin olim   = illo tempore, and
is related to ille as aliquando to aliquis, and quondam to
quidam.
sudumst = evsa; sudus = serenus.
3. contra. See on Ior.
4. praestringat, "dazzle": cp. lingua gladiorum   aciem
praestringit domi, Truc. ii. 6. ii, where praestr. = "outdazzles."
acied. R, in his New Excursuses on Flautus, has advocated
the frequent introduction of a final d, not only in nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, but also in adverbs, prepositions, and imperatives. Corssen distinctly rejects the final d, except on the
authority of mss., which only give med, ted, sed (acc. and abl.).
In prepositions antid and postid are defended by many; and we
have sed, red, andprod in compounds. For adverbs we have no
authority but facilumed in the Sctum de Bacanalibus. It is
perhaps safe with Biicheler (Lat. Decl.) to recognise d in med,
ted, sed, and all ablatives, but not elsewhere. Koch would here
read fostibus for hostibus, and fariolus for hariolus 692. This
is rather a strong measure, though Festus tells us "foedum
antiqui dicebant pro haedo, folus pro holere, fostem pro hoste,
fostiam pro hostia"; and Varro says that hircus was fircus in
Sabine, and fedus was a provincial pronunciation of edus
(haedus). Quintilian speaks offordeum as a form of hordeumn.
A play such as that on aciem and acied is very frequent in
Plautus: cp. gestitem... gestit 7; and meo malo a mala abstuli hoc Men. i. 2. 24. A modern playwright would probably
write, "That the foe's array be dazzled by its rays."  Ajeu

de mots in Amph. i. I. 212 may be rendered much more
neatly:
M. Aduenisti, audaciai columen, consutis dolls.
S. Immo equidem tunicis consutis huc aduenio, non dolis.
M. " You have come, you-you height of audacity, with your tissue of
lies."
S. " Nay, I come with no tissue of lies, but tissue of good cloth."
5. mihi ethical dat.
6. lamentetur: cp. 103I, where, as here, the verb denoting
the external expression of grief is put before the verb denoting
the internal sensation; we have aedes lamentariae = "house of
mourning" in Capt. i. I. 28.
7. quia. Quia, not quod, is used by Plautus after verbs of
feeling; cp. 1328. Bx recognises only one case of quod, namely,
ne miremini quod non triumpho Bacch. iv. 9. 150. We have,
however beat quod Mil. 468. Conversely, we have once in Cic.
the Plautine quia in reprehendis me quia defendam Sull. 50.
Earn would be regular; but se makes the phrase more vigorous:
"me iampridem feriatam gestitat " would be the very words of
the sword's wail.
8. misera cp. Soi, I199.    Fartum facere is "to make
mincemeat of"; farturn is properly " stuffing"; cp. Most. i. 3.
13 non vestem amatores amant mulieris sed uestis fartum;
hence the minced meat of which sausages are made. R, followed
by all recent German editors, reads stragem for fartum on the
very uncertain authority of Glossaria Vetera, explaining strages
cwpbs veKcpwv.' But there is no evidence that this gloss refers to
this passage, where the mss. do not preserve a trace of stragem
and give eitherfartucm or an obvious corruption of it. Surely
the alliteration withfacere more than accounts for the use by
a comic poet of a word in a peculiar sense-a sense, too,
strongly defended by the passage quoted from the Mostellaria,
and possibly paralleled by qui farcit below, 69I, on which
passage consult Comm.
9. ubi hie, "whereabout here": cp. I258; ubi tu hichabitas
Rud. iv. 3 95; quaero in his regionzbus ubi habitet Trin. iv.
2. 31.
o1. fortem  often means "fine, braw " in Plautus: cp. Io66;
sed Bacchis etiam fortis tibi uisast Bacch. ii. 2. 38; Nonius
explains for/is as formosus, perhaps not quite accurately; he




MILES GL ORIOS VS.


also gives locuPles as an explanation offortis, and certainly this
meaning seems to suit Trin. v. 2. 9, and Pers. v. 2. o
II. tam bellatorem: cp. tamn in amici 74I; tam pro nota
go; tam matula Pers. iv. 3. 64; parum leno Ter. Phorm. 507.
So in Cic. Epp. quis est tan Lynceus Fam. ix. 2. 2; sometimes,
too, without any word to qualify, as in zaec ego tam esse quam
audio non puto Q. Fr. i. 2. 9; utinam tam (sc. integra) in periculo fuisset Att. iii. 13. 2; so ita (sc. uectigales) fuerunt
Q. Fr. i. I. 33. The Latinity of Cicero in his more familiar
letters naturally finds its closest parallel in the Latinity of the
Comic stage, which reproduces the familiar conversation of everyday life in Rome. I have dwelt at greater length on this point
in my edition of Cicero's Letters (Vol. I., Introd. p. lxxx.).
12 ad = rapcd, wpos -= "in comparison with": cp. 968; ad
sapientiam huius ille nimius nugator fiuit Capt. ii. 2. 25; ut
emerem sibi (ancillam) ad istamfaciem Merc. ii. 390; so Cic.
nihiZ ad Persium De Or. ii. 25; aequiperare is always followed
by dat. of cum with abl., so it must not be taken here closely
with ad suas.
13. Curculioniis from curculio, sometimes written gurgulio,
which means both " a throat " and " a weevil."  In Trin. iv. 3.
II there is a play on currere which demands the form curculio,
while the sense demands the meaning " throat."  Curculioniis
is a comic coinage; the reading is very uncertain, as also in
next verse: see critical note.
14. uumbomnachides     " Bombastes Furioso."    Clut. 
KAv7roUotrwpsivcapXi8t7s, and is compounded of KXvrbs  aTrwop
and vacapXia. This personage was not a pdr0rwp oWBolo, like the
Homeric heroes, but a j-Ta'rwp uvaapXias (riot, mutiny); or perhaps  vacapXpits is a patronym. from a coined  ra-apXos (imperi
incapax); or else we should read 5vaapriT7ss = "ungovernable." In these words I have given the form nearest to the best
mss, and have not recorded the many guesses of the edd. Such
coinages are made chiefly for their sound, like Chrononhotontotonthologos and Aldiborontiphoscophornio. The scene should
be compared with Poen. ii., where Anthemonides recounts his
exploits. Other Milites in Plautus are Therapontigonus Platagidorus in the Curculio, Cleomachus in the Bacchides, Stratippocles in the Epidicus, and Stratophanes in the Truculentus.
s5. Neptuni nepos.   "An allusion," says Bergk, "to Antigonus Gonatas, son of Demetrius Poliorcetes, who called him

139


self the son of Neptune."  But perhaps the allusion is rather a
general one: cp. "praestantissimos uirtute Iouis filios poetae
appellauerunt, ferocissimos et immanes et alienos ab omni humanitate tamquam    a mar genitos Neptuni filios dixerunt"
Gell. xv. 2; so also, "I Quid de sacrilegis, quid deimpiis periurisque dicemus
Tubulus si Lucius umquam,
Si Lupus aut Carbo [aut] Neptuni filius
ut ait Lucilius, putasset esse Deos, tam periurus aut tam impurus fuisset?" Cic. Nat. Deor. I. 63.
16. cum in Plautus often couples the attributes or properties
with the subject where, later Latin would use an adjective or
participle: see 658, and Poen. iv. 2. 30 haud amice fads pq2
cum onere (= onusto) offers moram.
I8. paniculum tect. properly "reed-down," here probably
used for the reeds themselves which were employed for thatching; see quinz tu in paludem is, exsiccasque arundinem, I gui
pertegamus uillam dum sudumst Rud. i. 2. 34. Paniculus is
always feminine, panicula, except here. The following nouns
neuter in later Latin are masculine in Plautus:-collus, corius
(sometimes corium), dorsus, guttar, lac (lactes = intestines, but
iacte is always the nominative form and is probably neuter),
pazpaver, sinus (a bowl): on the other hand we find nasum
for nasus, pane for panis, and artza from artis; again praesepe is praesepis (fem.) in Cur. ii. I. I3; in Mil. 140 the mss
give conclauem, perhaps rightly; and sinapis is feminine in
Pseud. iii. 2. 28. Nonius says that Plautus uses tergum masculine, misunderstanding habeo familiarem e tergum As. ii. 2. 53:
frons "a forehead" is masculine 202, and is quoted as having
been used as masculine in the Origzines of Cato, the Subditiuos
of Caecilius, and other old writers. Lux is generally masculine
in Plautus.
20, prae ut..   feceris, < in comparison with other feats
that I could tell of-your not having done."  From tu quae
numquam to bene, 24, the words of Art. are aside.
21. periuriorem periurus is simply "a liar" in Plautus, not
"a perjurer," which is rather expressed by mendax. In this
sense mendax is followed by gen. of object, si huius rei me essev
mendacem inuenerix As. v. 2. 5; credere has the same construction As. ii. 4. 53, quoi omnium rerum ipsus semper credit.

MILES GLORIOSVS.


22. gloriarum, "fuller of his own doughty deeds": cp. ita
sunt gloriae meretricum True. iv. 4. 36; gloriae = " boasts" is
post-classical; Gell. uses the word in this sense, has ille inanis
glorias cum flaret i. 2. 6: in classical usage gloriae, plural =
(I) "glory achieved in more than one case" Cic. Plan. 6o;
(2) = gloriationes.  Gloria (sing.) = (I) "glory"; (2) "pride."
hoc... quam illic est.  Instances of this strengthened
form of comparison are frequent in Cic., e. g. quid hoc tota
Sicilia est larius quam  omnes.. conuenisse Verr. iv. 77;
quid ergo hoc fieri turpius aut dicipotest quam De Or. i I69,
quid enim hoc miserius quam    eum... fieri consulem non
posse Att. iv. 80. 2; quo nihil turpius physico quam fieri quidquam sine cause dicere Fin. i. 19. Bx compares Trin. iv. I. 13,
where absque te foret is resumed after four verses by ni tua propitia paxforet praesto; so also below, 51I.
hoc... illic. This variation of the pronoun, though referring to the same person, is common enough in Plautus: see
ilzum... is I3I; ili... eae 348; illi... i Capt. prol. 2;... isic... hic...ilic  iii.. 4 15-61; istic.. hic iii.
5. 75; illic... istunc Rud. iii. 5. 30. A  good example in
Greek is Thuc. i. 132. 6 7rca&lca 7roe Iv airoO Kal rlaT'rTaros
KeitYy.
24. nisi unum... bene.   "The only thing is thishis olive-salad eats a ravir."   "Bar one thing" as we
might say. For this elliptico-adversative use of nisi cp. 378,
nisi mirumst facinus =    "yet still it is a wonder how"
&c.: see also Trin. ii. I. 8; Rud. iii. 4. 45; and even
in Cic. nescio: nisi hoc uideo Rose, Am. 99.    The verse
was first properly punctuated and explained by E. Schreiner
(Fl. 7ahrb. xcvii, 34I), who compares nisi modo unum hoc:
hasce esse aedis dicas dotalis tuas I I66; and nisi unum: palla
pallorem incutit Men. iv. 2.46: epityrumz (7rl TrOpC), a salad eaten
with cheese: estur = editur: for insanum    used as adverb
"ravishingly," see on I00: illi = illic. See crit. note.
25. eccum, sc. me, " here I am."  When eccum is joined with
a noun and there is no verb, the noun is in accusative: see 470,
1216.
nel, " for instance": cp. 55 below. This usage of uel, like
ueluti, aviKca, is common in Plautus, e. q. uel hic qui insanit
quam ualuit paulo prius Men. v. 2. 120; uel ille seruom se
meum esse aibat Men. v. 7. 53.  Not unlike is the Plautine

usage of sicut illustrated in note on 974. For another idiomatic
employment of uel, see on 355, cedo uel decem, " give me, aye
even half a score, if you wish ": see also uel ade/t uel non IOI9.
In Amph. i. I. 28, there is a passage where uel cannot be defended, though it does not seem to be generally questioned:tarn consimilist atque ego I sura pes statura tonsus oculi nasunm
uel labra \ malae mentum barba collus torus; we should here,
perhaps, for uel labra readpalpebrae, or palpebra, which Nonius
quotes as an old form of the plural. The broad resemblance between uel labra and papebra would account for the corruption.
26. bracchium. Artotrogus says "arm " for "thigh," purposely using the wrong word to raise a laugh; so ualgis sauiis,
"crooked-legged mouths " 94; sorbet for sternit 8r8; dormiuni
for coniuent Most. iii. 2. 145; subztZoltrium for subaquilum
Rud. ii. 4. 9. When these intentional blunders are made it is
the habit of Plautus to correct them in the next line. However
we have saturiate ebrius Capt. i. I. 41, and gramarum
habeo dentis plenos lizpiuntfaucesfame Cur. ii. 3. 39, without
a subsequent correction, as well as ual-gis sauiis in 94. The
old commentators miss the point in taking bracchium for
' trunk," though Lucretius calls the elephant anguizmanus.
27. quid bracchium, " why arm,' i.e. "' why (do you say)
arm ": cp. quidc nusquam 316.
illud... dicere. I have here accepted R's correction (see
ctit. n.); but it is not for metrical reasons, for Bx has shown
that illud d'cere uolruifemur can be abundantly paralleled in
Plautus, that is, that words forming a dactyl or ending in a
dactyl often have the ictus metricus on the last syllable. I
have accepted R's conjecture because illud feminur uolui
dicere gives the proper order of words in this formula corrizgendi.
Not only is this the order in the passages referred to in note on
26, but also in Pseud. ii. 4. 21; iii. 2. 54; and in Amph. i. i.
228, where Fl. rightly reads nam zillu Amp hitruonis socium
me esse uolui dicere. R has defended the old form feminur
for femur in Opusc. ii. 437 foll.
29. conisus, " if you had put your strength into it."
transmineret a/ira Elp. formed like eminere, imminere, prominere; cp. transtinet 468.
3. nolo istaec. sc. dicere not dici, as may be seen from next
verse.

33-36. aside.
34. peraurienda. This word and dentiant are comic coinages to suit auribus and dentibus like ruri rurant Capt. i. I. I6;
domi domitus Men. i. I. 29; exauspicaui....edauspicandum Capt. iii. 5. 109.
35. mentibitur: cp. scibit 860 Capt. iii. 4. 86; audibis
Capt. iii. 4. 86; in Pers. i. I. 15, we have congrediar and adgredibor in same verse.
39. Scytholatronia, from Scythes and latrones = "mercenaries."  R reads Cryphiolathronia ({cp;6ios Ad0pa), which would
mean the land that is hidden from men's eyes, "Kennaquhair," 7 " Weissnichtwo"; cp. Cur. iii. 74-76, where Perediam
et Perbibesiam may be rendered "Eatanswill," and where Contenebroniam supplies perhaps a reason for reading Cryphiola-.hronia here.
40. Sardeis. This is an archaic form of nom. plur. 2nd decl.
= Sardi, which Plautus uses (instead of Sardiani) to mean " the
natives of Sardes.'"  Sardi in later Latin means " Sardinians."
This archaic form of nom. plur. occurs again in 374 hisce oculis,
in Men. ii. 2. I7 sacres sinceri, and v. 9. 96, where fundis =
fundi should be read; it is the invariable form in hisce illisce.
We find in Inscriptions Minuceis, magistreis, ubliceis, conscripteis, gnateis, facteis = Mzinucii &c.  Even in the A decl. R
and Bx would introduce a similar form in alternas arbores for
alternae Trin. ii. 4. 138.
4I. una uno die.     The adverb una always refers in
Plautus to an action taking place at one time and in one
place, as has been thoroughly shown by P. Langen, Beitrage
zur Kritik und Erklzrung des Plautus (Leipzig, I880),
p. 243.   Hence Langen here accepts the unscientific and
obvious expedient of Pylades, the transposition of tu and
quos, because, as he thinks, the succeeding words uno die
are inconsistent with this view of the Plautine usage of una.
But they are not inconsistent with it. They serve to heighten
the comic hyperbole of the passage. The stroke that slew all
these men was but one stroke, delivered in one place and at one
time, but the time necessary for the delivery of this portentous
passado was one whole day.
43. tantum.   The neuter is common in Plautus, especially
after sums of money: cp. minas quadraginta... eo Trin. ii.

multa interuenire possunt Cato ap. Gell. xiii. 17 = "'twixt cup
and lip there's many a slip." Mionent = "jogs my memory."
For the sentiment, cp. nil tu me salurum monueris; memini et
scio Cur. iii. 3. 14.
47. communicabo. The usual construction is corn. aliquid
cum aliquo, or inter se, but also corn. aliquid alicni.
49. Foret forfuisset, see Madv. Lat. Gram. 347; occideras
for occidisses, see Madv. 348.
50. peditastelli, diminutive of peditaster (which, however, is
not found). Peditaster, formed from pedes, as oleaster from olea,
would mean a "wretched foot-soldier"; the diminutive form
(cp. agellus, cultellus, ocellus, &c.) expresses a still greater
decree of contempt. So in Epid. v. I. 14 we find grauastells =
" of an ugly iron-greyish colour," which is thus formed; grauus
(rauus) - "iron grey "; grauaster = "ugly iron-grey;" grauastellus = "ugly iron-greyish."  The term -aster, in a depreciatory sense, is found in Terence in parasitaster; in Cicero in

surdaster, Fuzuiaster, Antoniaster; and we are familiar with it
in our own word poetaster; and in French opiniatre = " obstinate "; verddtre, " greenish "'; blanchaitre. " whitish."
siui uiuerent. For the ellipse of ut see above on il. The
critical note on this verse should be carefully read; it well exemplifies the value of the Ambrosian palimpsest in the criticism
of Plautus.
52. unumm. Vnus is often used to strengthen the superlative
in Plautus, as in unam... optumam, unam... audacissurmam
&c.; but also with positive, as in unum pollens atque honoratissumum Capt. ii. 2. 28; solus is used with positive in same
sense often in Terence.
55. uel. See on 25.
57. hicine, "is not this Achilles "? ne = nonne, which is
not found in old Latin.
58. eius frater.   Achilles had no brother; the relationships of the Olympian deities are comically misrepresented:
e. g. Juno is called louis fila in Cist. ii. I. 45 ff.
ibi, " thereupon ": cp. Trin. ii. I. 19, 2r, ibi ille cuculus, and
ibipendentem ferit.
59. ergo, " that is why he is so handsome " (because he is
the brother of Achilles); ergo often thus refers (see 380) to a
preceding statement, sometimes also to a following clause, as in
ergo quia sum tangere ausus Aul. iv. IO. 25. It is a mistake to
suppose that the Latins ever used ergo = =p-y.
62. quae me obsecrauerint.     " Is it after their imploring
me?" i. e. " (do you ask such a question about women) who
have implored me? &c. This is a common ellipse in Plautus:
see below, 406, 973, 985; ne is also sometimes added, as in
quodne amem (= id non osculer quod amem) Merc. iii. 3. 12.
Very similar to this usage is the Hibernicism sure, "sure they
both asked me."
67. dare operam has two meanings in Plautus-(I) " to be
at one's service, to give one's services" (the proper meaning of
the phrase); (2) "to give one's attention, to listen." In 774
we have tibi damus operam auribus. The phrase has the first
meaning in Cic. Epp. (Fam. vii. 24. 2; Att. xiii. 49. I).

68. rogare = milites conscribere, "to enlist recruits"; the
full phrase is sacramento militenm rogare. R, for once stooping
to explanation, gives this strange remark:   uzis rogare est
utendas petis."  But the words could not bear tlat meaning;
and these words, rightly intcrpreted, lhow tlhat this verse should
stand here, not after 37, where I places it, following the mss.
7I. praeolat mihi, "that I should scent beforehand what
you want," i. e. that I should kiiow what you want before you
mention it, as a dogy knows his master befoie lie sees him.
Praeolat is impersonal.  O/ere and its compounds are found in
Plautus to conform   generally to the 2nd conjugation, but
sometimes (as here) to the 3rd. So we have exfidiri, 314, as if
the verb were of the 4th conjugation; paririe for Jpar-re Vidul.
Fr. 21; moriri and aggrediri often; cuzpiiet Lucr. i. 71; and
effugiri in Publ. Syr. 8 5.
72. tempus ut eamus, 'time to go": cp. IIOr.
74. latrones, (I) "mnl ccnal ies"; qui co7zducti7ilitztaatiSEt Festus; (2) robbers; (3) latrones and latrzzzculi also mean
"'draughtsmen.'' LatrociZari == (I) to rob; (2) to serve as a
mercenary. Latrocinizz'7t = (I) mnC1ceInary SCer\CC; (2) a game
of draughts; (3) robbery; (4) a band of robbers.
ibus, archaic for eis, on the analogy of quizibus, except that
ibus has the penult. long. So  ibzus = Ihs Cur. iv. 2. 20.  For
construction see on lIo.
75. Seleucus.  No special Sclcucus is referred to; the name
is used just as alizuetm ad regent in Trin. iii. 2. 96.
78. ago eamnus: cp. ae. ag   abite 928; so cane for caucee
Men. v. 7. 5; and cane diruztpanis Poen. prol. 17.
ACT II.
This speech of Palaestrio is really a pr/logue. In only one
other of the extant plays of Plautus is the prologue deferred
until the audience is made acquainted with the leacing charactesistics of one or more of the chief dramatis personae. In the
Cistellaria it is only after Silenium and Gymnasium have, in an
opening scene of much power, disclosed their different characters, and the Lena, in a second scene, has related the story of
Silenium  that the prologue proper is spoken by the goddess
L




IZES GZ ORIOS VS.


Auxilium. So that the prologue is in effect divided between the
Lena and Auxilium. Euripides, in the Iphigenia in Aulis, has
taken a somewhat similar course. The whole speech of Palaestrio
seems to be made up of three parts-(I) 79- 87, whichwas probably
part of a post-Plautine prologue prefixed to the play, and not
spoken by Palaestrio; (2) 88-94, a part of another rival pro
logue used by another company of actors; (3) 95-I55, the
remains of the original Plautine speech of Palaestrio.
80. benignitas: cp. date benigne operam mihi As. prol. 14.
The post-Plautine imitator probably copied Men. prol. I6, where
benignitas is used in its Plautine sense (though the prologue is
not Plautine), not in the sense of" kindness" required here;
benignztas in Plautus means "generosity, openhandedness";
and malignitas, "stinginess, niggardliness"; benigne in As.
quoted above = "kindly "; but the prologue of the Asinaria is
not by Plautus.
8I. exsurgat foras. For this pregnant use of exsurgo, cp.
ne quoquam   exsurgatis Bacch. iv. 4. Io6; surgedum  hue
Most. v. I. 53.
82. sedeat. It is certain that in the time of Plautus there
was no sitting accommodation in the Roman theatres; yet we
find even in undoubtedly Plautine passages (e. g. Aul. iv. 9. 6)
references to a sitting public. We must therefore suppose that
the spectators either brought with them stools and chairs, or
seated themselves on the ground. Val. Maximus says distinctly
(ii. 4. 2), that in the censorship of Messalla and Cassius (599),
when it was proposed to erect a stone theatre, the proposal was
rejected on the motion of Scipio Nasica: atque etiam Scto
cautum est ne quis in urbe propiusue passus mille subsellia
posruisse sedensue ludos spectare uellet, ut scilicet remissioni
animorum standi uirilitas propria Romanae gentis iuncta
esset. The Theatrum Pompei, the first stone theatre, was built
just a hundred years after this Sctum.
83. qua causa; cuius causa wonld be plainer, but the
comoedia is itself the causa why the spectators took their seats
in the theatre.
84. comoediai. We find this form very often in Plautus,
both in nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, especially in proper
names of Greek origin, such as Charmidai: this form is also
used by Ennius, Lucretius, Cicero in his poems, and Vergil;
but not by Terence in any certain passage.

87. id.  That Greek term  Aa.\(v we players translate into
the Latin term gloriosus."
89. qui hinc ad forum abiit. These words make it probable
that the prologue, of which 88-94 is a part, was spoken after
the first scene.
9o. stercoreus. a7raE elp.; but lutum, hiteus, and such
words, are common terms of abuse in Plautus: see 325; True. iv.
4. I; Most. v. 2. 45. Cp. tcK6rpEiOS.  Impurus is the Plautine
adjective.
94. maiorem partem: see 644, and me haud centensumain partem landat Capt. ii. 3. 6I; used of temporal duration
in Poen. i. 3. 4, maiorem partem in ore habitas meo.
sauiis, here "lips," generally "kisses "; nuagis sauiis is explained by Gram.: labrisforas uersum tumenZbus: see on 26,
above.
95. seruitutem seruio. This figure is common in Plautus;
among the most remarkable examples are Mil. 228, 381, 699;
and turbas turbare Bacch. iv. Io. I; pietatem piare As. iii. I.
3; cenam cenare Rud. ii. 6. 24; prandium prandere Poen. iii.
5. I4; also gaudium gaudere Ter. And. v. 5. 8, which is found
as well in Cic. Fam. viii. 2. I, one of the many coincidences
between the diction of Cic. Epp. and the Comic stage.
96. deuenerim, "found my way by chance: cp. Cic. Att. i.
9. I; and Brut. 157: consideranti ad quos ista non translata
sint sed deuenerint.
98. date operam: see on 67.
Ioo. acre: see critical note, in which I have shown that
acre is, in effect, palaeographically the same as matre, the unintelligible reading of the mss. We find amatur... acriter in
Pseud. i. 9. 39; and acre for acriter is found in Persius, iv. 34;
and in acre iznadunt Sall. Frag. This usage is very common
in Plautus, as in prouenisti futtize Stich. ii. 2. 73; and in
Capt. ii. 3. 78, where we have the express testimony of Nonius:
"fidele pro fideliter: Plautus Captivis."  Now I am far from
saying that we should always accept as certainly Plautine every
Nonian quotation; I even believe that he often quoted verses
from memory, and erroneously; but I am confident that he
never ascribes to Plautus a peculiar grammatical usage, on the
ground of a certain passage, without making sure that he quotes
L 




148


JIILES GL OIIOS S,


at least the significant part of that passage correctly. I believe
therefore that in Capt. ii. 3. 78 we should read with Lind. fac
fidele (= fideliter) sisfidelis.  Fzdele (= fideliter) fidelis is of
ourse thoroughly Plautine: cp. firme firmnus, misere miser,
inpudenter in]nuZdens, sapienter sapere &c.  Again, celere is
undoubtedly an adveib in Cur. ii. 3. 4, and probably in Tcr.
Ph. I79, though in the former passage editors have sought to
make celere an adjective by reading froperum for propere, or
subitum for subito. Quite similar is the use of insanum for insane in 24, above; insanum mnalun   Trin. iii. 2. 47; insanum
magnumz Bacch. iv. 5. I; insanum bona Most. iii. 35; and insanun ualde un erque deamat Nervol. Fr. 7-     Nonius also
quotes zimmne for immaniter.
Athenis Atticis. This epithet of Athens is found also in
Epid. iii. 4. 46; Truc. ii. 6. IG; Rud. iii. 4. 36; Pseud. i. 5. 2.
It is, no doubt, merely conventional, and cannot have been used
to distinguish the celebrated Athens from other towns so called
in Boeotia and Euboea.
Ior. contra, always an adverb in Plautus, Terence, and old
dramatists (so iztxta, see 234). It means (I) ( opposite, vis-avZs' ( 123); (2) " reciprocally " (as here); (3) "in return, retaliation" (199); (4) "on the contiary" (243). It is very fiequent with amnar, deperire, &c., in the sense which it bears
here. As language grows older adverbs acquire prepositional
usage; for instance, coram is only an adverb in Cicero, though
afterwards generally a preposition. In mizhi contra adstitit
Capt. iii. 5. 6, mizii is the ethical dative.
I02. legatus fuit = legatus sutm, very common in Plautus;
so we find fueramt for eram of the pluperfect passive, fuero for
ero &c.
103. magnai: see on 84.
104. interibi for interim; often in Plautus but not found in
Terence.
io5. insinuat sese ad.    This phrase is found again in
Cist. i. i. 9I, and without se ibid. 94; inde in amicitiam insinuauit cum rmatre et mecum simul.
18. itaque, "and so": see 1410; itaque seems sometimes to = ita, especially in the emphatic sense of ia = " so
much, so true is it that": e. g. itaque omnis exegitforas = ita
Aul. iii. I. 7; itaque detandebo = ita det. Bacch. ii. 3. 8.

ibi apud: cp. 113, 134, 138, 161.
IIO. sublinit os. One of the very numerous expressions for
"befooling, cajollng" in Plautus.  Nonius says it is tractum
a genere ludi quo dormzientibus ora pinguitur: cp. Greek
III. is. Is is pleonastic since it is followed by miles in next
verse: cp. qui tu id prohibere me potes ne suzsicer Trin. i. 2.
50; so haec....  ulier below, 149.
112. clam governs three cases in Plautus-accusative, genetive, and ablative.
113. in Ephesum. Plautus sometimes prefixes the prepositions in, ex, to the name of a town, sometimes not; we find
him omitting the preposition even in the name of a country,
Alis, in Capt. ii. 2. 8o; iii. 4. 41. This is a peculiarity of early
Latin; nequlinont Graeciam redire Liv. Andr.; so Chersonnesum  mitere, Aegyptuim proficisci in Nepos. Cic. Att. vii.
3. IO recognises the rule that in should be omitted before the
name of a town, but defends in Piraeum on the ground that
Piraeus was a deme.
114. ut temporal is common in Plautus (see 178), and in
Cic. Epp., as ut Brundisio profectus es nullae mihi abs te sunt
redditae litterae Att. i. 15. 2.
1I6. inscendo. Used absolutely, as conscendo in Cic. Epp.
II8. uectus fLui: see on 102.
II9. peril, " I was lost": cp. utinam te di priusperderent
qgtam periisti e patrin tua Capt. iii. 4. 5; quibuscum parua
Athenis periit Rud. iv. 4. 67. A strange use of perire is found
inptppis pereundastprobe Epid. i. I. 77: cp. abstandus Trin.
ii. I. 30, and placenda dos est Trin. v. 2. 35. Perbitere often
takes the place ofperire in Plautus.

I31. deferat, dedi... deferat...veniret affords an example of tense-sequence quite unclassical, but frequent enough
in Plautus, and found in Terence occasionally, generally to suit
metrical exigencies. This peculiarity attracted the attention of
the imitators of Plautus, who very largely avail themselves of
this license, e. g. it amittaturfecit Arg. Capt.

134. in proxumo, "next door"; de, e, proxumo, in proxumum are frequent in Plautus.
137. opera consilioque: cp. Aoy   Kal epytp, of which the
Ciceronian equivalent is re et oratione.

139. qui is used for all genders and numbers in Plautus =
quo, qua, quibus.
I40. unum   conclaue, attracted into case of relative, as in
Araucratem quem conuenire uolui in naui non erat Amp. iv.
I. I; hence in eo conclaui follows, just as quos consignaui...
latrones, ibus 74. This attraction generally is into the accusative
in Plautus, as istum quem quaeris ego sum Cur. iii. 49; but
also into the nominative, as isti qui ludunt... omnis subdam
sub solum Cur. ii. 3. 17; and the dative, as te reddam madidum

145. nam. The ellipse is (" there is no difficulty il carrying
out our plans) for "preti, "of no account."  In As. i. I. 60 this word bears its
old sense of a place in an enumciation: tuprimzus sezntis; nos
tamen in pretio sumus, "wve are in the running" (in sagacity) =
C" nos quoque adnumerandi sumus."  So in Poen. 327, primuin

an inmate, while pultare, Kdrretv, denote the knocking of one
seeking entrance. But to explain concrepare,ope^v of a tap
given by the outcoming person, to warn passengers that the
door was about to be opened, is quite wrong, for the following
reasons:-(I) such a practice would be childish and meaningless in any case; (2) in private houses the doors always opened
inwards, not outwards; (3) the fores O6pa, to which concrepare
/opEeY apply, did not give on the street at all, but on a passage
leading to the outer door, iatna, ostium, which was always open
by day; in Amph. iv. a. 9, Amph. expresses his surplise that
aedes occltserunt; so sed quid hoc occlusa ianuast interdius
Most. ii. 2. 14; so Stich. ii. r. 36. Hence Euclio is always
careful to enjoin the shutting of the door. Fores concr. and
GOpa foE76 refer to the creaking made by the fores in opening;
they were hung not on hinges but on pivots (cardines), which
were made of wood, generally elm, and made considerable noise
when moved (Marquardt Privatalt. i. 233). Hence we find in

together, and Priscian was certainly right in denying this etymoIogy, and in holding that equidemn cal be used with 2nd and 3rd
person (and even plural number, as in Verg. Aen. x. 29). The
following aic the places where equidemn is founld against Bentley's rule in poetry (for in prose the change to quzidem is always

throw was four aces; the highest was either when the four sixes
turned up, or (according to a different way of playing the game)
when the numbers were all different. The Latin names were
unio, ternio, quaternio, senio.  The best throw was called
Venus, basilicus (because the king of the feast was appointed
by it); the worst throw was uolturii, canes: see iacit uolturios
quatuor Cur. ii. 3. 78; quaerenti Venerem per iactus usque secundos I damnosi semper subsiluere canes Prop. iv. 9. 17.
Fraudem, which in later Latin means " treachery," in Plautus
means harm, a colloquial usage which we also find in Cic.
Att. vii. 26. 2: id mihi fraudem tulit; elsewhere only in the
phrase s. f. (= sine fraude) esto in laws, and fraudi esse. The
phrasefaciofraudem is also found = " I elude," as here, in
Cic. Att. iv. 12: facio fraudem Scto.
167. ita... iussit, "so strict were his orders to."
168. illis ceteris; probably dative, as quid tu mihi facies
Cas. I. 29; but often ablative is thus used, e. g. 973; so with
fuat 299; we have quid mihi futurumst Men. iv. 2. Ioo; and
quid me futurumst Truc. ii. 4. 63. For ilis ceteris, see on
122.
I69. estne = nonne est; the particle nonne is post-Plautine.
Satin also is often used for nonne.
172. tumultuas = tumultuaris. Such a treatment of deponent verbs is a very characteristic feature of early Latin.
Hence, in Cic. Att. iv. I6. 6, sortita = sorte ducta is quite
right if the word be regarded as forming a part of the Sctum,
and therefore belonging to archaic language. A very long list
of such verbs might be constructed from the early dramatists.
The following are found in Plautus alone:-adgredio, adsentio, amplecto, amplexo, arbitro, aucupo, auspico (exauspico),
comminisco, congraeco, contemplo, crimino, cuncto, fabrico (perfabrico), fabulo, fluctuo, frustro, horto, indipisco, insecto, intermino, lucto (delucto), ludifico, lucro, mereo, inmro, minito,

prol. 13; obsonari Aul. ii. 4. I6; praesagitur Bacch. iv. 4. 28.
Palpari, exiricari, and even cluear, have ms authority, but
are universally rejected. Many of the above forms are repudiated by most edd. Indeed very few are accepted by all; but
all have ms authority.
occisi, " we are lost": cp. occisa est haec res Capt. iii. 4. 7;
occisissumus Cas. iii. 5. 52.
I74. uostrum   = zuostrorum; so mezun, iuom, suom, nostrum = meorum    &c.; and conversely, uostrorum  = nostrum

I76. osculantis; construction, (I) absolute; (2) osccuari aliquem; (3) osculari ctm aliquo; (4) osculari inter se.
I77. repente... subito. We find in Plautus propere
ocius, propere cilo, propere celeriter, propere strenue, continuo
protizam, una simul, exinde iico, and even subito propere celere
(Cur. iii. 3. 4).
I8o. nihili, "worthless": see 285; cp. nihili cana culex
Cas. ii. 3. 25; nihili decrepitum meum uirum  Cas. iii. 2. 29;
unde is, nihili Cas. ii, 3. 31, which last strongly confirms the
conjecture of Studemund, tace, nili for face, noli, on Cur. i. 2.
41; however, perhaps tace, nolo is better, as Phaedromus had
said a few verses before tace, nolo huic male dici. The ape was
a type of contemptibleness in Latin literature: cp. 504, and
clurznum pecus (clura == rirzcos) Truc. ii. 2. 14.
182. quantum possit.    Quantum = guam celerrume; possit
is impersonal.
se, for earn, as in I88: the personal and possessive reflexive
pronoun belongs not only to the grammatical subject, but to 
the objective or logical subject, not only in Plautus, but also
in Cicero, Cesar. and Livy (Draeger, Hist. Synt. i. 67).

I. 20. The slaves in Latin Comedy jest on their punishments,
just as in modern argot, "to dance upon nothing" = "to be
hanged "; etarnzuer dans le sac = "to be guillotined."
185. nisi depends on an ellipse: "I have given the order
[and so I will go], unless you have any further commands."
Per. could not, however, have "given the order," for he has
not left the scene: hence nuntiabo in I96. This scene is
carelessly written; it is very unnatural that Per. and Pal. should
waste so much time in talk at such a critical moment.
I86. profecto is found in four places in Plautus, where there
is no eason to suspect the text of corruptness-(I) here; (2) 280;
{3) Pseud. i. 2. 67; (4) Poen. iv. 2. 85. Profecto is found
passiz. Hence Ribbeck substitutes porro in these four places,
and Fl. ingeniously suggests corgo, which is explained by the
word profecto in Paul. Fest. 37. The shortening of the penult
may, however, be accounted for by the fact that the word was so
very much in use; and, probably, if all the passages where it
occurs were examined, it would be found that it should much
oftener be regarded as short.

Ennius has egregie cordatus homo catus Aeliu' Sextus; Ennius
was said to have tria corda because he understood three languages, Latin, Greek, and Oscan.
204. auortit: cp. 1074; = auortit se, as Verg. Aen. i. 104,
prora auertit; and auertens ib. 401. So uortat in the common
phrase quae res b7ene uortat. Bx takes auortit as the perfect of
the deponent auorti; but it is much better to regard it as used
intransitively for auortit se, especially as the present is used
throughout, except in concrepuit, which stands alone as indicating a momentary act. For adstii is always used as a present in
Plautus. It is the perfect of adsisto, and means "I stand,
orwtca." A good instance is Men. v. 2. II2, iam adstitiin currum, iam lora teneo: see also below, I254. Adstiti never.
means " I stood" in Plautus, though it does in Ter. Ph. 867,
placide ire perrexi, accessi, adstiti. With auortit = auortit se,
cp. leniunt 583; resoluas (sc. te) Amph. ii. 2. 73; insinuat
(sc. se) Cist. i. I. 93; rugat (sc. se) Cas. ii. 3. 32.
205. feruit; feruere is always 3rd conjugation in Plautus:
cp. for the sense, quem... faciamferuentem flagris Amph. iv.
2. I0.
208. eccere, "there now"; originally ecce rem, the m
dropped as in postmodo, propemodo. Postmodum is found in
Pseud. i. 342.
209. incoctum... coctum: see 193.
212. os columnatum.     The attitude of Palaestrio, who
supports his head on his hand and arm, as if on a column, reminds Plautus of his brother-poet Naevius, imprisoned for his
lampoons on the aristocracy. The imprisonment of Naevius is
placed about 21I-207 B. c.; so that we have the date of the
Mfiles very nearly, if we supposed it to have been produced
during the imprisonment: in any case it must have been after
the imprisonment began; but the reference put into the mouth
of Periplecomenus may, of course, be to a bygone event. A posterior limit has been sought in the allusion in verse Ior6 to the
Bacchae, whose exposure took place about i86 B. c.  But there
is no reason why such an allusion as that in verse Ioi6 should not
be made after the criminal practices of the Bacchae had been
made the subject of prosecution, as well as before.
indaudiui. Indaudiui means "to overhear by chance, to
catch a part of (a discourse)." So imbutus litteris = " with a

tincture of learning," and imbuere always refers to the informal
teaching of nature as contrasted with the formal teaching of
art. So also informata = "in outline, in its first rude shape ":
cp. for the form indigpiscor, indugredi, iuduperator.
barbaro = Romano. Plautus uses barbarus in the meaning
it would have in the mouth of his Greek originals, i. e. " not
Greek-speaking ": cp. Maccius uortit barbare As. fi; barbarica lege Capt. iii. I. 32; barbaricae urbes iv. 2. 104; so in Barbaria = in Italia Poen. iii. 2. 2r, where a curious custom is
alluded to, namely, that lupines passed for gold on the stage:
"it is gold," says Collybiscus, "stage gold; the sort of gold
on which Italian beeves grow fat when it is soaked in water;
but for the present it must enact the part of a Philip."  Cic.
Orat.  60o has barbaris casibus. Plautus uses barbarus in a
distinctly depreciatory sense = rudis, indoctus in Bacch. i. 2.
13; and yet, in the next verse but one, he uses it as a synonym
for Romano.
213. bini custodes, i. e. the chains on his hands and feet.
totis = ozmnibus.
2I4. adstitit: last syllable long, as often in Plautus. For
the Plautine use of this word, see on 204.
euscheme.    These adjectives come from Greek (evboyXu/w s,
Bovuxiiws &c.), but are inflected as if they were Latin adverbs:
cp. compsisssume = KoFrtTara 941; basilice =,3aoAtzXcs Poen. iii.
I. 74; ineuscheme (according to mss) Trin. iii. I. 24: other instances of Greek words with Latin inflections are-musice, more,
prothyme, graphice, pancratice,. athletice, pugilice; and the substantives, prothymias Stich. ii. 2. I; eccheumatis Poen. iii. 3.

quin datis si quid datis, Cas. iv. I. 7.
216. uarius uirgis: cp. cras Phoenicium phoenicio corio
inuises pergulam Pseud. i. 2. 97.
217. tibi ego dico, the usual form for bespeaking attention,
like our "I say." Cic. uses narro tibi in the same way.

audio, often in Plautus an expression of impatience when one
wishes not to be addressed: see 79i, Capt. ii. i. 47; Cur. v.

220. decet: sc. agi, cp. at mzodice decet (gestire) I214.
221. aligua: sc. utia.
saltu. This correction of autu (autzu) of the mss was made
independently by A. Kiessling, in the Rhein. Mzus., and
A. Palmer, in Hermathena. It is generally accepted as quite
certain, carrying out, as it does, the mi/litary metapho s in which
the passage abounds, and involving a very slight change.  The
meaning is "lead round your army by a pass"; saltus is
used in this meaning in Cur. i. I. 56; Men. v. 6. 21 (where it
means a pass leading out of a danger). See crit. note.
circumduce, ducere, dicere, facere, and their compounds,
often tale e in imper., butferre never.
222. perduellis, always trisyllable in Plautus; duelurm is
alway s dissyllable.
223. tconmeatumt, certainly corrupt, especially as conmeatutin occurs in next verse: see crit. note.
225. hanc rem age = hoc age, "Attention"!
res subitariast, " sharp's the word"; subitumst and res
subitast are common in Plautus; here subitaria is used as having a military sound, and recalling milites subitarii.
226. conminisce: see on 172.
cedodum: dium found generally after imperatives, but often,
also, after adverbs of time (dudum, interdumn, nondum, primundum, niuxdum) is, according to Corssen, the accusative of
dius, an old form of dies (cp. noctu diuque, znterdius, diur-nus,
where r tales the place of s), and means " a while."
calidum, " struck off at a white heat, not allowed to grow
cool": cp. calidis minis = "raised in a hurry" Ep. i. 2. 39;
calide... age ii. 2. 99; calidum mendacium Most. iii. I. 136.
The use is explained in Poen. iv. 2. 92, nihil est nisi dum calet
hoc agitur.
229. confidentiast = confido; so sps est, tubido est = spero,
lubet.




NOT.ES.


161


recipere... dicis: sc. dicis te recepturum esse ad te,
"That you will take this on yourself, undertake it." Verbs
of promising, hoping, &c., are often followed by present
infinitive, not future infinitive in Plautus, e.g. promisi dare,
minatur sese abire, adiurat se monstrare, me inferre Veneri
uoui. This usage is also found in Terence, and is one of the
colloquialisms which Cicero in his Letters has borrowed from
the stage, or rather from the conversation ofevery-day life, which
is reproduced on the stage.
230, 231: see crit. note.
23I. impetrare = sc. te impetraturum esse.
232. auden = uin = "won't you?" sodes (si audes) = sis;
non audes mihi subuenire As. ii. 4. 70 = "won't you help me?'"
The verb is, no doubt, connected with auidus.
quod, sc. eo quod; for participare is followed by abl.; see
part. sermone 262. On the ellipse of the antecedent, see 356,
where the passage was long misunderstood through the overlooking of this usage.
233. regionem: cp. 886, "bring you into the direction of
my plots," i.e. " give you some sort of knowledge how the land
lies in my machinations."
234. iuxta mecum, "as well as I," also in Sail. Cat. 58;
iuxta like contra is always an adverb in Plautus, and is always
found with cum: we find pariter, aeque mecum in the same
sense (in one place, iuxta tecum aeque Pers. iv. 3. 83) with
verbs, scire, nescire, tenere, curare.
salua... indidem. Metaphor from a deposit, which is
more fully expressed in Trin. i. 2. Io8, miii quod credideris
sumes ubiposiueris.
235. erus... suo. "My master is as thick-skinned as an
elephant."
236. lapis: cp. saxum, I024.
ego mi istuc scio. By inserting mi, of which there are clear
traces in the mss, I have avoided the expedient (usually adopted)
of writing sapientiai for sapientiae, which I object to here, not
on account of the genetive form -ai, which is common (see on 84),
but because the line is very unrhythmical as it is given by Bx.
For the phrase, ego mi istuc scio cp. 282, 33r; mi equidem

(Aul. iii. 6. 17, Cur. iv. 4. 3I).  "A  couple of days" is duos
aliquos dies; "some three weeks," uiginti aliquos dies.
Where we should say " only a week or so" the Latin has unos
sex dies (see Trin. i. 2. 129; CiAt. ii. I. 22); and when we should
say " about a fortnight," Latin has quindecim dies (Trin. ii.
4. I); so in Fr. quinzejours.
252. operae non est: see 318, " she is not at leisure for it,"
literally, "it is not a thing (a case) of work," = "it is not a
thing about which she feels bound to trouble herself." Operae
is the genetivus generis. This phrase is quite different from
operae (pretium) est. The phrase opera mihi est is also found
as the opposite of opera non est here, and means, "I have
leisure " (i. e. the matter is a work to me, a thing which claims
my attention): cp. si operast auribus Merc. prol. 14; dicam si
uideam  tibi esse operam aut otium, where operam comes to
mean very much the same as otium: cp. operae mi ubi erit ad
te uenero True. iv. 4. 30.  Slightly different is propter quam
operast mihi, ' for whom I am exerting myself;" ro86.
non potest, "it is impossible," impersonal, as often in
Plautus. We have also non potis est in same sense. So non
potest quin, 603, 693.

259. numquid aliud, elliptical, see 575; so, also, numquid
me aliud Ter. Eun. ii. 3. 72; the most usual form of the phrase
is numquid uis; this was a polite form of leave-taking. Donatus on Ter. Eun. ii. 3. 49 says, abiluri ne id dure facerent
numquid uis dicebant ius quibuscum constifissent. The phrase
quid nunc uis on the contrary was distinctly rude, as we may
gather from Amph. iv. 2. 5, Quid, nunc uis? to which the
reply is, sceleste, at etiam quid uelim id tu me rogas.

265. noui... scio.  " I know their way (their motto is):
Ican't keep a secret that I have all to myself."
266. uineam pluteosque. For the military metaphor, cp.
219-226.
268. quasi canis uenaticus. Metaphors from the chase
are frequent in P1. We have three others in this play, 608, 99o,
1029.
270. sed. Sometimes atque is thus used, as in atque aperi.
untur aedes Amph. iii. 2. 74; so atque eccam uideo, atque izse
egreditur.
27I. Philocomasio. For the dative instead of genitive, see
on1 I.
ACT    II.-SCENE III.
273. certo... scio. According to Klotz (Cic. Sen. i. 2)
certo scio = certum est quod scio, 'my knowledge is accurate ";
certe scio = cerium est me scire, "I am  certainly convinced."
Certo is found only in Comic Poets and Cic. (chiefly in his Epp.);
certe is found in all periods and in all kinds of composition.
proxumae uiciniae. This is not a partitive gen. depending
on hic, but a locative case, as militiae, Athenis, Carthagine,
Romae, Corinthi. We have the phrase without hie in Bacch. ii.
2. 27. We very often have hic inproxumo, huc inproxumum.
cp. hinc a uicino sene I54.




NOTJES.                      165
malam   rem = malum 433. This conjecture of Bentley for
alienun is now actually found in A. This is the only place in
this play where Bentley has hit on a true reading, not arrived at
by others independently, whether before or after his time; he
has made some 220 conjectures on the MilZes. The words sibi
malam rem quaerere occur Cas. ii. 3. 48.
275. hie.. huno; so han... hac 1007.
277. uolup, an adverb, nearly always with est, like bene est,
aegre est; but used twice with facere and once with uictitare.
It cannot be spelt uolupe, as it sometimes stands at the end of a
verse: cp. facul for facile.
quid iam: see 322.
279. maxumum     in malum: see 53I, 86r; cruciatumque
further defines the malurm "punishment." We find maxumum
malumr below, 547; Cas. iv. 4. 6; Rud. iii. 4. 70.
insuliamus = insiliamus, "plunge into," an exaggerated
expression for incurramus: cp. crucisalus Bacch. ii. 3. I28.
282. scias, one syllable, as sciat in As. iv. I. 48. For tibi,
see on 236.
283. faciam quin: see on I49, and Amph. i. I. 242 there
quoted. This is a kind of confusion between non faciam quin
dicam and non patest quin scias = "I won't have you not to know
it."
enim, emphatic = "surely, I tell you"; it often stands first
in a sentence in Plautus. See on 1289.
286. te istuc aequomst. I-e was about to retort on Sc.
with "it is you the gods should confound," but he changes his
mind, and says-" it is you that should go on with your story, as
you have begun it." So in Capt. iv. 2. 88 Ergasilus is about to
retort the curse of Hegio, but checks himself and gives the sentence another turn; so Epid. i. I. 21 Di teperdant.  Te uolopercontari: cp. also Pseud.. I. 35, at te di deaeque quantumstseruassint quidem.
287. forte fortuna. This is perhaps an example of the
usage commented on above, I35.
288. altero. This should properly mean one of two others
beside herself; but it is used as here, Rud. prol. 74; Cist. iv.

2. 30. Propertius often uses alter of a rival, referring, of course,
to himself as the first.
289. Sceledre scelus. Aparonomasia: see 330, 494. So
faciet Crucisalum me ex Chrysalo Bacch. ii. 3. 28; Lyde, ludo
i. 2. 21; non Charznus nzi hic quidem sed Copia, with a play on
carere, Pseud. ii. 4. 46; while in the same scene (verse 22) there
is a play on Charinus and  dpwv.  Also damnumz in Epidamno
Men. ii. I. 42; Phoenicium phoenicio corio Pseud. i. 2. 97;
Sosiam... socium Amph. i. I. 227; and so Lucrio... excruciabere 842, below, if the old reading Lucrio be retained; but see
note on that verse.
290. profecto: see on I86.
tutine = tutene; short e final, when in comp. with a consonant, becomes i, as undique, indidem, isticine, quippini, antidhac, antidit, antistare; so Bx writesfacilin for facilene, seruirin for seruirene, usquin for usquene.
29I. abi, here a word of dissent or reproach: so 324  "get
ou ": very often, however, it has quite the opposite meaning,
laudo patrissas, abi "that will do: you are a chip of the old
block" Ter. Ad. 564. In both cases abi means " you may go
now,"   "you have satisfied me" (whether the conclusion
arrived at be for or against the person addressed). In the same
way, scin quomodo, scin guam generally means (i) "you have
no idea to what an extent what I have told you is true";
as in Bacch. iv. 2. 12, at scin guam iracundus siem; Amph. ii.
2. 39, bono animo es. Scin guam bono animvo simn, "keep a
good heart. You've no idea what a good heart I'1l keep";
but (2) sometimes also the phrase is merely a threat, "I'll tell
you what," as in Rud. iii. 5. I8; Aul. i. I. 8-io; and scin
quomodo at end of play. (3). We find, also, scin quam cinaedus
sim, "I'll show you what I am whom you call cinaedus"
Poen. v. 5. 40; SA. posterius istuc tamen potest. To. Scin
guam potest, "It can be put off. Can it? I'll let you know
whether it can or not," Pers. i. 3. 59. From this passage, as
well as Bacch. iv. 2. I2, it may be seen that this phrase may be
followed either by indicative or subjunctive.
293. tollas, "Lord love you, don't be in a hurry to father
that report." Literally, " if the gods were well disposed to you,
you would not rashly" &c. Tollere is best explained by quod
erit natum tollito Amph. i. 3. 3. Sc. is advised not to take on
himself the responsibility of the report. Bx holds that tollere =

ferre (cp. manum si protollat pariterproferto manum Pseud. iii.
2. 71), and explains tollas here = feras, comparing Pers. iii. I.
23, nam inimici famam non ita ut natastferunt.
294. tuis... creas: cp. quis mihi subueniet tergo aut capiti
ant cruribus Cas. ii. 5. 29; the danger to the legs may be explained by I56-I65, above, or else perhaps it refers only to
fetters, as in Capt. iii. 4. I 8; capiti = "one's very life ": see
Aul. iv. 7. 20, de capite meo sunt comitia.
296. stultiloquium. We also find in Plautus stultiloquentia, and stultiloquos = morologus (which also occurs). Plautus
is fond of compound with -loquos, e. g. uaniloquos, uaniloquentia, multiloquos, multiloquium, largiloquam (318).
297. primumdum: see on 226.
hoc, ablative, "for this reason": cp. Aul. ii. 2. 58: Amph. i.
I. 98, hoc adeo hoc commemini magis quia illo die inpransus fui.
299. fuat me: see on r68.
301. eho, only with imperatives and questions: in the latter
case it is always combined with an, and expresses astonishment.
302. postulo = arit, generally in phrase ne postules = "don't
think it, don't expect it."
303. eadem: sc. opera, "at the same time, as part of the
same business, while I am about it": cp. eadem biberis; eadem
dedero tibi ubi biberis sauium Bacch. i. I. IS. The phrase una
opera has a different meaning: una edepol opera in furnum
calidum condito, "you might as well," &c. Cas. ii. 5. I; qua
opera credam   tibi una opera adligenz Pseud. i. 3. 1oo;
iztbeas una opera me piscari in aere As. i. I. 85; una opera
ebur atramento candefacere postules Most. i. 3. 102. In one
passage, haec una opera circumit per familias, True. ii. 4. 56,
una opera appears to be = eadem opera; but eadem opera is
never used in the sense "you might as well," which una opera
bears in the places above quoted.
304. quaam  mox, "how soon"; also used in direct questions.
horsum, ho-uorsum (ho = hoc = huc), "' hitherward."  The
stem is ho.
iuuenix, old form of iunix: cp. iuuenca, 5dao/xts, tob6Xos.

MILES GLORIOS VS.


a pabulo: cp. Hamlet iii. 4. 66,
Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed,
And batten on this moor?
306. tamen. For tamen, standing in the clause to which it
does not in sense belong, cp. Lucr. v. Io88 (coguntur) muta
tamen quom sint uarias emittere uoces. So 8/zcW often.
309. facinus fecit: see on 95.
311. quidquid est, "come or go what will": cp. quidquid
est errabo potius quam perductet quispiam Most. iii. 2. i6o;
again in this sense at Cur. v. 3. I6; quidquid futurumst
Truc. ii. I. 42; quidquid est occurs very often as the object of
the verb, and is always a cretic.
mussabo, " I shall be mum ": cp. Aul. ii. I. 2; mussabo =
"to mutter" Merc. prol. 49; so mussito = (i) "to whisper,
mutter to oneself," as in 714; (2) " to be silent about a thing,"
egone haec mussitem Truc. ii. 2. 57.
312. uenditat, "prostitutes herself," as qui ipsi sese uenditant Cur. iv. I. 21.
315. exfodiri, archaic for effodi: see on 71.
316. quid " nusquam," "why nowhere?"      See Cas. iii. I.
1-5, where this figure is very copiously exemplified.
empsim = emerim. According to Corssen the original form
was emisim, whence emerged two formations-(r) empsim,
through the dropping of the vowel in the middle of the word;
(2) emerim, through the very common substitution of r for s
between two vowels.
321. mirumst... tritico.  "It is a wonder that you live on
darnel when wheat is so cheap." Darnel was bad for the eyes
(Ov. Fast. i. 691). Sc. means "you must have been living on
darnel, or your eyes would not serve you so badly."
tam uili tritico, an abl. of attendant circumstances. Bx
well compares rebus uilioribus multo Ter. Phorm. 79;   but
totidem litteris Trin. ii. 2. 65, which also he cites as similar,
is, I think, quite a different construction; pol pudere quam
pigere praestat totidem  litteris, means (I think) "ipudere is
better than pigere by as many letters as the words consist of," that is, " every letter of pudere is better than
pigere."  This is more forcible than to render "though the




AO TES.


169


words have the same number of letters," making itteris an
abl. of attendant circumstances, as Bx does. According to
my view, litteris is the Ablativus mensurae, as it is called
by Draeger (Historische Syntax, ii. p. 562); it is the same abl.
as we have in multis partibus maior Cic. N. D. ii. 36). For the
phrase, cp. meis orationibus omnibus litteris, " in my speeches,
every letter of them," Cic. Att. i. 14. 3.
322. quid iama. Bx is disposed, here and in other places, to
take quid as the abl. with the old ablatival d; so that quid
would = quidum, '   how do you mean, how do you make that
out?"   So in 277, 469, 472, 8I8, 834, 1203.
324. quid domi, "W hat do you mean by at home?   as in
316.
325. Into: see on go90.
326. capiti tuo, a common periphrasis for tibi: cp. capitulo
584. Another common periphrasis is aetai tuae = tibi: cp.
uetustate uino edentulo aetatem  irriges, "moisten your clay
with wine mellowed by age (toothless from old age)," Poen.
iii. 3- 87.
327. alia: sc. oratione, "change for another," not the adverb
alia, though it occurs in Rud. prol. IO.
329. nihil est qua = nulla uia est qua, on the analogy of
nihil est cur = nulla causa est cur.
330. quin, "< why there she is," in denial of the last words of
Sc. In Cas. iii. 4, we find quin repeated a great many times,
until Alc, says numquanz ibi hodie quin erit plusquam mihi,
" I promise you you won't have a why more than I."
33I. mihi: see on 236.
332. quin sit, for quin credam earn ease: cp. 188.
333. subrepsit: see on 316.
334. meus illic homost, " I have him on the hip" (he is in
my power); so meus hic est, hamunm uorat Cur. iii. 6I in 6i5
meus homo has a quite different sense = "a man after my own
heal t." So noster esto is often a phrase of high commendation =
"commend me to you"; but noster est (350) = "belongs to
our household, is one of us."

336. corde: see on 203.
337. isti = istic: see 255.
340. solarium, generally "a sun-dial," here "a terrace or
balcony" (so called from being exposed to the sun, or from
being the place where the sun-dial stood) by which one could
pass into the next house.
neque hortum, because if there were a hortus there would be
a posticum (06pa K7noara).  The passage is elliptical: "nor a
terrace, nor a garden (nor any way to pass from one house to
the other), except by the impluuium."
341. quid nunc leads up to a further question: see 53I, 545.
earn facio: cp. I256, and nec otui tamen I propitiam Veneremfacere re ea ut esset mihi Poen. ii. 5; so haec me sut confidamfaciunt Cic. Q. Fr. ii. 14 ( 5 b). In the quotation from Poen.
ii. 5 re ea is inserted on my own conjecture: it would have
fallen out after the last syllable offacere.
344. pede... sistam, " I shall place her standing before
you"; on the analogy of pede stare, capite sistere (Cur. ii. 3. 8).
347. nec rogo utendos foris, "I have not to go a-borrowing for a pair of eyes ": cp. habeo opinorfamiliarem tergum ne
quaeram foris As. ii. 2. 53, where familiarem = conseruom,
and we must not suppose P1. to have made tergum masc.

in them-I'll make them mistresses of knavery, and keep an
abundant supply for myself over and above "; literally, " out of
that which is superfluous in myself alone (without going to anyone else to eke it out)." For the ellipse of the antecedent ex eo
before quod, cp. 691, o077, II56; quod te misi (sc. de eo ob
quod) Cur. ii. 3. 48; dare mercedem qui (sc. ei qui) iv. 4. 34;
quod benefecisti (sc. ob id quod) Capt. v. I. 20; quod ego fatear
pudeat v. 2. 8; quod male fecz crucior v. 3. I9.
356. solae = soli: cp. eae 348, aliae 802; so istae, alterae;
we also find ulli, uni, nulli, isti as genetive.
357. nunciam is not nunc iam, but nunci-am. It is related
to nunc (originally nunci, cp. nuncine Ter. Andr. iv. I. 59) as
quoniam to quom (originally quoni), and etiam to et; we find
the same am in quis iam, palam, coram, clam.
procul, not "to a distance," but "a little way off," as in
quoia uox sonat procul Cur. i. 2. I8; oboluit Casina procul
Cas. iv. 3. 21: see below, I 69.
358. quid ais tu. "I say."   This phrase bespeaks attention in P1.; literally, "what have you to say (to the remark
I am going to make?") FIanc ren gero is "you see I am minding my business."  Sc. stands before the door with his arms
spread out to prevent the passing of anyone. Hence the joke of
Pal. in next verse.
359. extra portam, probably the Esquiline, the abode of
the carnzfices, vespillones, and coriarii, where was the buryingground of the poor, and where executions took place. The
allusion to a gate of Rome, though the scene is laid in Ephesus,
is quite consistent with Plautine habit. So we find frequent
allusions to Tresuiri, Aediles, and Praetors; and Lyco, a banker
of Epidaurus, is made to do obeisance to Aesculapius capite
operto (Cur. iii. 3. I9), a distinctly Roman and non-Greek custom (Plut. Quaest. Rom. Io).
360. dispessis, from  dispendo for diJpando (cp. perpetioa
and patior).  This verb occurs in the form dispenno in 1407.
Slaves were forced to carry through the city the cross on which
they were to be executed.
nam quam = quamnam.
36r. quis, feminine in old Latin; so quem, quisquis, quisquam, quemquam, quemuis, quempiam, quisque, quemque are
all used as feminine.

363. lubet: sc. perire. Praepropere is not found elsewhere
in P1. The prefix of prae- to adjectives and adverbs is not
frequent in PI., and is, indeed, characteristic more of the postclassical, than the ante-classical and classical periods. We have,
however, praeclarus below, 1042, praepotens Poen. v. 4. 9, both
which words are also found in Attius, who also has praeferuidus; praemature occurs in Most. ii. 2. 69, praematurus and
praeualidus in Afranius, praegrandis in Pacuvius.
364. bonus, ironical, as often in Pi.: cp. Xpryros.
probri, especially applied to unchastity in women: cp.
Amph. i. 2. I5; Aul. i I. 36.
365. em tibi. "There he is for you"; em is another form
of en (ace. of dem. pron. is), and is quite different from hem, an
emotional interjection, expressive either of sorrow or joy. Em
not hem should be read with imperatives, like uide, specl, tene,
accipe, serua; em serua, "take that," constantly betokens in
P1. the infliction of a blow.
368. atnue.   " aye," a corroborative force common in atque
adeo.
credo, " you'll lose them, I'm thinking "; so in 203, and Ep. i.
I. 32; it is sometimes distinctly ironical, as in credo misericors
est Amph. i. I. I41.
370. stulta et mora: cp. more hoc fit atque stulte Stich. v.
I. I. Sum is understood; a common ellipse in P1.
371. capitis perdam. On the analogy of capitis accusare,
damnare; the phrase occurs again in As. i. 2. 6, Bacch. iii.
3. 86.
373. maiores. A slave was nullo pare in Roman law; hence
the joke of the long enumeration of ancestors. Sit = " buried,"
siti dicuntur ii qui conditi sunt.  The poorer persons were
generally buried, not burned (Guhl and Koner, 59I).
374. hisce: see on 40.
375. te uolo: sc. conloqui. This very common ellipse is made
the basis of a joke in Pseud. i. 3. 20, luppiter te perdat quisquis
es. Te uolo. At uos ego ambos, where te uolo and at uos ego
ambos (uolo) are ambiguous, and may mean either te uolo (conloqui), or te uolo (Iuppiter perdat).
376. me uide. "You may trust me" (do I look as if I were

deceiving you?); hence te uideo = "I believe you." So taceas:
me spectes, "dont say a word; tiust me" (see if I look as if I
would let him off) As. iii. 3. 90; reddam ego te ex fera fame
mansuetam: me specta modo, "trust me for that" As. i.
2. I9.
377. nisi: see on 24.
379. fenestra. Fenestra occurs thrice in P1. and once in
Ter. Festus and Macrobius say thatfestra was the old form of
the word; but whether it was so written or only so pronounced
it is impossible to decide. Sometimes movable shutters were
used to close the windows, as is proved by the movable frames
found beside the windows of the house of the "Tragic
Poet," at Pompeii: in other cases thin tablets of clay served
this purpose, of which, also, several specimens have been
preserved at Pompeii: we further hear of a transparent
stone (lapis specularis) being used; and window panes of
artificial glass have been found at Pompeii (Guhl & Koner
366).  Bars or lattice were also used for the same purpose,
as appears from  this passage.  The windows were small
and few, and were chiefly on the second storey. Glass became
common under the Empire.
nam, the ellipse is (yet she was not where she now is all
along) "for I surely saw her in here."
380. intendere, "to persist in."
ergo: see on 59.
381. noctu here =nocte, generally an adverb. Conversely
we find nox as an adv. = noctu in As. iii. 3. 7; so si noxfurtunr
faxsit xii. Tabb.; si luci si nox Ennius ap. Prisc.: cp. pernox.
Zac noctu = " last night," so TrO'be vucrds.
382. aduortito. She addresses Pal. ouly, see 370, 371.
385. hospitio hue deuorti, " came here on a visit."
386. Palaestrionis... narratur.  Pal. says aside, "My
own dream (i. e. the dream I invented myself) is being told
me," then aloud "Proceed!"; there is, perhaps, an allusion to
the proverb robipJbv veipov eyoi (meaning "you're telling me
what I know already"), quoted by Cic. Att.vi. 9. 3.

used with expetere, see on I386.
394. praesens, accus. after the interjection: cp. o056, io66
= " apt," as praesens apologus Stich. iv. I. 38 is " applicable ";
for the custom of offering supplication to the gods on the fulfilment of dreams, see Amph. ii. 2. Io6, Cur. ii. 2. 20
395. censebo. A politer, because less decided, form than
censeo, = "I would suggest"; so dices is "you will be good
enough to tell"; sperabo I209, "I would fain hope"; uolam
Cur. iv. 2. 7. In non credibile dices Trin. iii. I. 5 if dices is to
be read, I would rather explain it "you will be found to be mistaken (making an incredible statement)," as in hic inerunt (" will

"you'll find it right" Phorm. 53; quiescet Iuv. i. 126; sic erit

censebo, cp. Hor. Ep. i. 14, 44, censebo, exerceat artem.
397. dorsus: see on I8.
400. ut... osculantem. Two constructions are mixed
together: Pal. might have said () quam simile somnium somniauit atque ut tu suspicatus es, or he might have said ut ad id
exemplum somnium somn. atque ut tu susp. es (for atque ut cp.
1130); but he has mixed both together as in ut apologum fecit
quamfabre Stich. iv. I. 64; ut adsimulabat Sauream med esse
guam facete As. iii. 2. 35.  Vt ad id exemplum... ut without
atque would also stand: cp. Merc. ii. I. 41 (amaui) ad hoc exemplum numquam ut nunc insanio.

58; pendebit hodie pulcre Bacch. iv. 6. 23; miles pulcre centuriatus est expuncto in manipulo Cur. iv. 4. 29. So probe
often.
406. dudum, "just now "; so always in P1.; also found in
Cic. Epp.; iam dudum has the same meaning; quam dudum
is found = quam diu; but dudum is to be carefully distinguished
from diu and pridem, and iamdudum from iampridem.

415. eho, like our hullo! used both in the first address and

421. quid... debetur.  " What business have you?"; so
quid tibi isti homines debent Trin. iv. 2. 48, "what business
have you with them? "; in Most. iii. r. 9o quid illi debeturis
probably " what is owing to him?" though it might possibly
be taken in the same sense as here.
423. uiti plena: cp. mali uiti probrique plena Rud. ii. 2.
13; and Most. i. 3. 56, where uitique plena is probably to be
read.
424. uagas: see on 172.
426. quin... nesciam, "why should I not ask when I
don't know?"; nesciam is attracted into the mood of rogem as
in quin uiderim id quod uiderim, 570.
427. odiosus, "a bore"; so odium in the common phrase
odio me enicas; cp. odiorum Ilzas 743, and iam hic me abegerit
suo odio As. ii.. 4. 40; so non res sed actor mihi cor odio sauciat
Bacch. ii. 2. 35; and quod erat odium? quae superbia? Cic.

429. enim: see on I289. Enim is always a corroborative (not

perdiderimus, not "have ruined oneselves," but " have lost
our identity "; so ubi ego perii? ubi immutatus sum? ubi ego
formam perdidi Amph. i. I. 300; and caue sis ne tu te usu
perduis, " lose the title to yourself" Amph. ii. 2. 215, with a play
on usu capere.
430. persectari, frequentative ofpersequi is r-. iep. = "to
follow up a matter "; the simple persequi is used in this sense
in Cist. i. 3. 35.
431. nostri an alieni, "whether we belong to ourselves or
to some one else " (i. e. whether we are ourselves or not): so
noster = " myself," 433.
quispiam... aliquis: cp. for the pleonasm    quis me

99; quam...   aliqucam Ep. ii. 3. 8. Lorenz reads quipiam
434. intemperiae, "fits"; so Zaruae, insanicae; also in
same sense is used quae te res agitat, quae te mala crux
agitat.
435. perplexo, "wrong" (mistaken) name; verbum _perplexabile, As. iv. I. 47, is a double entendre (literally "leading to
mistake").
436. Glycerae, dat.; iniuria is fer. of adjective iniurius -
"' you are wrong."
439. tu ne, " yes, you." This is the asseverative particle,
sometimes written nae; it stands before the word or words it
qualifies except in cases like this, where a rhetorical question
goes before.
442. mala's, "you're a shrewd one."     Hence the reply,
"no, but a great fool."

this is the proper sense of astare: cp. 7repiiPevEP.
447. negotiosum   mihi esse tergum, "to get my back
into trouble."  Exhibere negotaum is the P1. phrase for 7rpdylarTa 7rapexetv.
448. atque, c" how do I know whether this be, not Ph. but
another like her?"; The Lat. employs a copulative particle where
we should use an adversative: cp. Cas. iii. 3. 12, metuo ne non
sit surda, atque haec audiuerit.
449. mittin me. Latin uses prcs. where we should use the
fut.; so in tacen anz non laces, iuben anz non iubes, redzn an non
redis: cp. omitto 445.
ingratiis, always quadrisyll. in P1.; gratiis always trisyll.:
in later Lat. always gratis, ingratis. These words are ablatives
from gratia, ingratta; and gratis has two meanings-(I) "for
nothing, without pay," as in Capt. i. I. 102, and always in P1.;
(2) "pleasantly," as in nam gratis anteactafuzt tibi uita Lucr. iii.
935; ingratiis always means "willy nilly" (against the will), as
here.
450. hosticum   = peregrirznum, "strange"; so hoste =
stranger" Cur. i. I. 5; Trin. i. 2. 65; but hosticzs = hostilis
Capt. ii. I. 49.
452. duos. The insertion of duos is a better expedient than(r) the too obvious transposition of hiomines and sitis; (2) the
introduction of the old form homrones, found in Livius; (3) the
introduction of quis, a supposed archaic nom. plur. of qui(see
on 40). R would adopt (2), Ribbeck (3).

pzsscelera Pseud. iii. 2. 28. On the other hand, we find the genetive usually in this phrase; indeed, one passage in which this
phrase is followed by a gen. is almost decisive against the
theory that scelerum is an adj.: scelerum caput I ut tute's item
omnis censes esse periuri caput Rud. iv. 4. 55. If scelerum
were an adj., it might be compared with uerbereum caput
Pers. ii. 2. 2.
496. auscultem tibi: see on 482. It seems strange to us that
a slave should address one in the position of Periplecomenus as
uicine. There was no respectful form of address to superiors in
Rome; even kings and queens, as A-mphitruo and Alcumena,
are addressed by their slaves as Amphitruo and Alcumena, and
this, too, though the master and mistress held over the slave the
power of life and death.
497. expurigare = expurgare; so iurigare, with its compounds, for iurgare, psurigare for purgare: these are formed on
the analogy of nauigare, remigare &c.
501. licetne, "may I (speak)": cp. pater Zicetne pauca
(loqui) Ter. Andr. v. 3. 22; in 521 the ellipse is of dicere: see

502. uirgarum, rods (generally of elm) used for chastisnig
slaves.
mihi supplicium... de te datur = mihi datur ins supplici de te sumendi: cp. As. ii. 4. 73-76.
505. condignam te: see 285, homo sectatu's nihili nequam
bestiam. This word is always used by PI. in a depreciatory
sense.
507. amplexam, passive: see on 172.
51I. supplicium stimuleum, " The knout."  Punishment
was inflicted on slaves with-(I) uirgae, or rods chiefly of elm;
(2) leather thongs, scutica, lora; (3) with theflagrum (flagellum), a whip, with lashes knotted and perhaps wired. This last
is often spoken of as stimuli, and may be rendered the I" knout."

(as) uncertain whether I ought to argue out the matter with
you-or whether, if this stranger is really not Phil., and I have
not seen Phil. at all, you would rather expect that I should
apologise to you-I am, I say, as ignorant of this as I am uncertain what I saw." Istaec is the hospiaz, haec is Phil. I have
translated the passage in accordance with the explanation of Bx,
who tales ut nesciam and sicut nescio closely together. This,
however, would be a very complicated expression, and hardly
suited to the easy flow of P1. dialogue. It would be simpler, I
think, to take sicut etian nune nescio quid uiderim separately
from the foregoing words, rendering sicut by some such phrase
as " that is,"  I mealn," "even still, I mean, I don't know what
I saw." Szcut is used quite in this sense in Men. iv. 2. 20, sicut
me hodie nimis sollicitum cluens quidam habuit; so in Poen. iii.
I. 3; v. 4. 2I; Most. ii. r. 34. In all these places sicut is used
to develope, elucidate, or illustrate a foregoing preposition, as
Langen (p. 249) has clearly shown. See note on 974, where
this same view of the meaning of sicut is used to explain a very
difficult passage. Aequom siet and an uidetur aequius (and indeed the construction itself, uit nesciam an uidetur) will seem
very strange to a novice in Plautine usage. But there are
instances of this usage too numerous and too unmistakeable to
admit of emendation, and certainly not to be explained as indicating subtle shades of difference in meaning: e. g. nescis quid
te instet boni j neque quam tibi Fortuna faculam lucrifera adlucere uolt Pers. iv. 3. 45; rem uide quae szn et quae fui ante
Most. i. 3. 42; scio qua me ire oportet et quo uenerim noui
locum Most. iv. 2. 53; eloquere... et quid tibi est et quid uelis
Cist. i. I. 59. In these and like cases it is idle to seek for a
difference in meaning corresponding to the difference in mood;
and emendation is quite out of place. It has been laid down
that indirect interrogations are put in the ind. when the question
is rhetorical, as audzz tu utdelzramenta loquitur Men. v. 5. 21;
but in the subj. when the question is a real one, as non scis quis
ego sim? Men. ii. 2. 23; yet in Men i. 3. 24 we have scin quid
uolo when the question is apparently not rhetorical. So in sentences where a verb of seeinzg, feeling, has for its object a sentence beginning with an interrogative, the ind. and subj. are
used indifferently; cp. uidee....quid potestpecunia Stich. iii.
I. 9, with uidete quam mihsi ualde placuerit Merc. 102; and
scio quid dictura's Aul. ii. I. 52, with sczo quid siet rei Men. v.
2. I4. The fact seems to be that there is often in PI., owing
to the carelessness of his dialogue, a halting between direct and
indirect regimen, as in die miZi uerumZ serio: Ecquis al/us




MILES GLORIOS VS.


Sosia intust Amph. ii. 2. 218. So one often hears in English
the mixed expression, "do you think will it rain?"  Becker
and others would resort to conjecture, so as to make the language of P1. conform to the rules of later Lat.; but Bx and
Ussing rightly refuse to bring the colloquialism of every-day dialogue under the rules of formal composition.
520. ad me, "to my house": see on ISr.  Cic. in his Letters uses ad me to indicate particularly his house in Rome, as
distinguished from his country seats.
521. licetne: see on 50I; quin = "nay more" (not only
will I permit it, but I enjoin it on you): ei = i, imper. of eo.
523. curriculo, lit. " with running" (as in unum curriculum
face Trin. iv. 4. II); generally, as here, it means "quickly,"
and is used not only with currere, but with uenire, ire (and its
compounds), sequi, uolare, adferre, and even with fui in
Stich. ii. 2. 13.
ita negotiumst, "that's what you've got to do."  In 8r6
ntsi negotiumst = " unless you have something (else) to do."
525. rusum, archaic for rursum; so for prorsus, prosus and
prosum.
526. infascauerit: sc. mulier; "make a mull of it"; infuscare is to spoil wine by too copious infusion of water, as we
see from Cist. i. I. 20; so if our phrase, to make a mull of
a thing, refers to mulled wine, it is a fairly adequate rendering
of infuscare.
527. The sense of the lacuna is thus supplied by R:Si hic non uidebit mulierem hisce zi aedzbus
Omnzs er-t res ipalam. Sed aperitur foris.
530. utpote quae non &c., " For a woman who is not the
same," "considering that she is not one and the same."
Exactly the same use is found in Rud. ii. 5. 5, satis nequam
sum utpote qui hodie anmare inceperim, "for one who began
(considering I began) to intrigue to-day." The only other place
where the phrase occurs is a very suspicious passage, Bacch. iii.
4. I3, amo hercle opino utpote quod pro certo sciam, where if we
are to ascribe the same meaning to the phrase as it bears here
and in the Rudens we must render "I am in love, I think
(which I am justified in saying), as I am sure of it."

Sc. again evades.
536. licet, " very well" =  rO'-re: see an amusing passage,

Pipulo improbo, the conjecture of R, is not justified by the interview between Sc. and Phil. above, nor by the habitual usage of
the word pipsulo; moreover, A is against it. See crit. note.
585 must be corrupt, as Ribbeck pointed out, for it distinctly
contradicts 582, 586, 593.
587. occisam... suem. A reference to the crit. note
will show how various have been the attempts of successive edd.
to impart sense to this passage. Lorenz was the first to perceive
that a verse must have dropped out. But even though we postulate a lacuna here, supplying the sentiment which Bx and
Lor. supply, no satisfactory sense emerges. For let us suppose
the lost verse to have contained words answering in sense to
"I than this fool Sceledrus"; then the sense of the whole passage
would be:-" I am quite sure that a slaughtered sow has often
more sense than this blockhead, who is choused into not seeing
what he saw." But-(I) occisa sus is not among the many types
of stupidity in PI., and is not at all likely to be so used; and
(2) what is to be done with saepe? If it be taken into account,
we should rather expect sapisse than sapere. Can there be in
the passage any allusion to the custom referred to in Men. ii. 2.
16, and testified to by Varro (R. R. iv. i6), of offering pigs to
obtain the restoration of a sound mind? The passage (with a
slight modification of 587) would then have run somewhat
thus:
Sat edepol certo scio
Occisa saepe sapere plus multo sue
Insanos; sed szline opzus est liena hara suom
Qui adco admutilatur ne id quod uidit uiderit?
"I know that madmen often become much more sensible
through the slaughter of a sow, but would not thisfellow require
a whole stye to be sacrzficed for him, since he is cajoled into not
having seen what he actually has seen?"  I need not add that
the italicised words are merely intended to represent the sort of
sentiment that might have been conveyed by the lost verse. Of
as course line = nonne illi; as P1. does not use nonne.
588. admutilatur, lit. " to shave close": cp. me usque admutilasti ad cutem Pers. v. 2. 53. Similar metaphors are
common in P.: as senex est in tonstrina Capt. ii. 2. i6; detondebo auro Bacch. ii. 3. 7; and attondit in same play.
592. senatum, " consultation": cp. quid tu te solus e senatze
seuocas Aul. iii. 6. 13; iam senatum conuocabo in corde consiliarium Epid. i. 2. 56.

595. de... fuat, "lest they cast lots in my absence"; an
allusion to the sortiico prouinciarum in the Roman senate.  At
the conference there would be assigned to each one his or her
part in carrying out the overreaching of the Miles, as. the
provinces were allotted to the different magistrates.
ACT    III.-SCENE I.
598. concilium, for concilia, by attraction to the case of the
relative; see on I40.
599. nequis. Ne is a negative particle found in nemo, ne
utiquam, ne umquam, nullus, noenurm = ne unum: cp. the
archaic use of nec in nec recte dicere, " to abuse "; nec ullun =
nullum Trin. ii. 2. 5; nec utrum = neutrun Lucr.. 839. Nec
survives in negotium, neglegentia, necopinus, and in old Law
phrases, as res nec mancipi furturn nec manufestum. Spolia
capiat = surripere in 6n. Military metaphors are abundant here
(see 597, 6II); so above, 219 if. See metaphor in Index.
602. inconsultumst, "our deep-laid plans are no better
than indiscretions'" (to use two phrases employed correlatively
by Hamlet).
604. quii: see 779. PI. and Ter. often attach qui as a corroborative to particles of asseveration: cp. horumn tbi istic nihil
eueniet quippe qui ubi quid subripias nihil est Aul. ii. 5. 22;
quippe qui \ magnarum   id saepe remedium   aegritudinumst
Ter. Heaut. 538; guipjpe gui nemo aduenit Bacch. iii. r. 2; so
also guippe ego gui Epid. iii. 2. 31; quippe qui Rud. ii. 3. 53;
True. i. I. 49. This asseverative particle in later Lat. is only
found in the compound atqui. In P1. it is found not only with
quippe, but frequently with ut, pol, ecastor, edepol, hercle; in
many places it has been perversely expelled, but the usage
is now completely recognised by scholars. In the phrase at
pol gui it is not right to assume a Imesis of atqui, but to look
on qui as the asseverative particle, as here.  Qui is most frequent with hercle, with which it is found in at least ten undoubted passages.
605. tuopte. The suffix -pte is found in P1. with the cases
of the possessive pronouns in the singular, and once with the
personal pronoun mepte.




NOTES.                        187
6o6. re, "The very things which you meant to do to them,
they actually do to you."  There is an antithesis between uoluisti and re. For re, cp. nam de te neque re neque uerbis merui
ut faceres quod facis Aul. ii. 2. 45; rem (actual experience)
potiorem uideo (sc. uerbis) iv. 7. 12; haec res ag'etur nobis znobzs
fabula Capt. prol. 52; ant consolando aut consilio aut re iuuero
Ter. Heaut. i. 134; res, aetas, usus Ter. Ad. v. 4. 2. So nonz
re sed opinione Cic. N. D. iii. 53. Re, which is not found in
the mss, no doubt was omitted through inadvertence, as it immediately follows a word ending with re, namely, facere: cp.
a very similar passage in True. iv. 4. 24, factum cupio; nam re
facere si uelim non est locus.
608. Metaphors from the chase are common in P.: see 268,
990, 994. For consilio gen. would have been more regular;
but see on I.
609. ultumam has only spatial, not temporal, signification in
P1. and Ter.; probe strengthens sterilis, as it strengthens meditatam in 904 and acutus in 1397; it is also used ironically, as
pulcre (see on 404). For the position ofprobe as far as possible
from the word to which it refers, cp. 1348 and Capt. ii. 3, 95, at
etiam dubitaui hosce homines cenerem an non emerem diu.
6II. imperium   in also occurs Men. v. 7. 41; Pers. iii. i.
I5.
613. utibilius.  Vtibilis is frequent in PI., but occurs only
once in Ter. (Phorm. iv. 4. 0o); the double comparative is very
common in P1.; so also aeque and adaeque with the comparative: see on 552.
614. immo, "No but, what do you think?"    Pal. indicates
that it was the opinion of Pleus., not of Per., which he chiefly
wished to learn.
6r5. meus, " after my own heart": see on 334.
commode, "rightly, suitably, tastefully": see 642; so coinmodiorem nzztioremque Cic. Q. Fr. i. I. 39. Commodus with
sums of money means "of full weight," " current coin of the
realm."  CoiJnnodo and conmmodum mean " opportunely."
616. facinus, merely " thing, circumstance," as in 377, 418,
and often in P1.
617. cor corpusque: see 783; used together merely for the
alliteration.

618. istuc aetatis = tam grandaeuo; it is used as if it were
an adj. qualifying homini; so hoc, id, illuc aetatis, hoc noctis, id
temporis; istuc &c. are accusatives.
619. te decora. Decere in P1. takes not only accus. but abl.
and dat.; decora is here followed by abl.; so dignus in P1. and
Ter. takes accus. as well as abl. Capt. v. 2. 6; As. i. 2. 23;
Ter. Phorm. 5I9.
620. summis opibus, " with all your might." The classical
expression is summa ope, omni ope, which P1. does not use.
Opem, ope in PI. have no meaning but that of " aid, help "; for
of course ope uostra censerier (Cas. prol. 15) is not Plautine.
We have ex summis opibus uiribusque Merc. i. 2. I; opibus
omni copia As. i. 3. 92; summis opibus atque industriis Most. ii.
i. I; omnibus opibus Stich. i. r. 44. Cic. Tusc. iii. 25 has
omnibus uiribus atque opibus.  Obicere, expetere, ire, facere all
depend on cruciat; the asyndeton is to be noticed. For expetere see on 1386.
mei honoris. The same hiatus is found in qui simulauit
mei honoris mittere huc causa coquos Aul. iii. 4. 4, in mihi
amanti 621, and very frequently in P1. Mei honoris gratia is
"through regard for me"; honor is "regard, respect"; in
Capt. ii. 3. 32 honor (according to my view of the passage) is
personified, Honore honestiorem affording an example of a P1.
usage well illustrated in As. ii. 2. 2, lubentioresfacianm quam
Lubentiast, "more joyous than Joy herself."
622. quae... solet, "Things which a man of your age
usually leaves off if practised before, instead of involving himself
voluntarily in them, as you are doing."
625. nihil amas, "you are no lover": cp. quid ames, quid
simules " how far you are in love " Pseud. i. I. 7r. This might
also have been expressed by nullus amas, a common idiom in
PI., and found also in Cic. Epp. frequently.
umbra's, "only the pale reflection of a lover."  Vmbra is
used in a strange sense in Pers. ii. 4. 27, where Paegnium says
umbra mea intus uapulat, i. e. " I am on the point of a beating"
(so near that my shadow feels it even now).
627. Acherunticus, "such an old Death's head."  The first
syll. of Acheron is long in P1.: cp. aioXTirwv in Aesch.




NO2TES.                      189
628. capularis: cp. cajpuli decus As. v. 2. 42, and rT',uJos
ypwov Eur. Med. I209, which I believe means " old tomb," as.
in 7yepcv Au,/os, X&.yoy, jxlos, s 7reros.
631. albicapillus. It was the custom on the Roman stage
that old men should appear in white wigs, young men in black,
slaves in red. These wigs (galearia) were often worn instead of
masks (personae), and we may conjecture that personae were
not worn in this play, as this would be inconsistent with the
description of Pal. plunged in thought, above, 200 if. Per. is
albicapi/ztus, though only fifty-four years of age, and is always
spoken of as senex.
senet = senescit, found in Pacuvius 275, 304; Attius 612;
Catullus iv. 26; and Persius vi. 6. In the last passage (Persius
vi. 6) Conington seems, I think, to have taken senes for a veib
in his translation; but Prof. Nettleship explains it as a subst.
in the commentary. Cp. anet' she is an old woman" Merc. iv.
4. I5, where an excellent verse is restored by the restoration of
this verb anere "to be an old woman."  The verse satis scitum
filum m/ulieris; uirum hercle aziet has been thoroughly emended
by reading for the last three words uerum hercle anet, "a good
figure of a woman; but, i' faith, she's old." Ab ing'enio = "C on
the score of, as regards, mind," is common in P1. and Cic. Epp.
e. g. a pecunia Aul. ii. 2. 9; innoxius ab aliquo ib. 44; ab
anima perire True. i. I. 28; copioso a frumento Cic. Att. v.
i8. 2. Anere is not in Lewis and Short.
632. sua sibi. Sibi is to be taken closely with sua as part of
an expression = " his own ": cp. suo sibi = suo ipse Capt. prol.
5; and suo sibi gladio hzun iugulo Ter. Ad. 958.
amussitata: cp. examussim disputem Men. prol. 50: examussimst optuma Amph. ii. 2. 23; actae probe examussim
Most. i. 2. 20.
634. oppido, ob pedom " along the level plain"; hence 
plane in origin and sense =  plainly, clearly, without doubt."
635. periclum facies, "make trial of me."
636. nota noscere: cp. acturn agere Ter. Ph. 419; inuenturn inueni Cap. ii. 3. 8I; perditum perdamus Cic. Fam. xiv,
I. 5,
640. umoris, "sap, freshness," hence exarui.
642. commodus: see on 615, "tasteful, gifted with tact."

643. ero, "I shall be found to be": see instances of this
usage in latter part of note on 395.
644. abstinere me: see on I87. Commodo = "duly."
646. meam partem: cp. maiorem partem 94 and 764; so
meam uicem P1.; humanam uicem Hor.
oratio, "right (turn) to speak "; these verbals are very common in PI., and they take the case of the verb from which they
-come; the verbal exitio, which occurs in True. ii. 6. 30, is very
rashly expelled from Capt. iii. 3. 4, where it governs exitium;
exire tales an accus. in P1., as in 1432.
647. For the asyndeton, cp. turbas lites As. iv. 2. 5; miseriis
laboribus Men. v. 9. 74; dolos perfidias Pseud. ii. I. 7; donis
hostits Rud. 23. So Lucr. has proelia pugnas edere ii. Ii8. So
also in P1. we find gratis gratias, armzs arte duellica, fictorconditor, uentus turbo, congrum muraenam. The same asyndeton
in adjectives is to be observed in 663 and 952 below; and in
dubiis egenis Capt. ii. 3. 46; piscatu probo electili Most. iii. 2.
4I; oratione uinnula uenustula As. i, 3. 70.
648. cumcquam, old form of umquam; sc. cubi, cunde, cusgue, cusquam, cuspliam, for ubi &c.; alicubi= ali-cubi, not aligutbi, and sicubi = si-cubi. R has introduced these old forms
into certain passages of PI., where hiatus seemed to indicate
their original existence.
65r. odiosus: see on 427.
sermoner    segrego, "break off the conversation"; so
segrega sermonem Poen. i. 2. 139. There is a gvfTepov rpdTepoY
in abeo domum, sermonem segrego.
652. uenerem, "charm of manner": cp. Stich. ii. 2. 5,
amoenitatis omnium uenerum. So uenerio, uenustatis 655, 6.
653. Aminulae, " Aminula urbs paruarum opum fuit in Apulia" Fest. Paul. 25. Per. says he was born in Ephesus, not
Apulia. It seems from Cas. prol. 72 that Apulia had acquired
a certain amount of Hellenism; so that Per. here means to say,
"my Hellenism is pure, not an uncouth imitation."
654. See crit. note.
655. atque equidem. This, not atgue quidem, is the phrase
in P1.; so quando equidem, not quando quidem. It has been
shown above that it is a mistake to suppose that equidem can




NOT/ES.

accompany only the first pers. sing., or that ego quidem is the
etymology.
656. plus... tibi. This is in answer to 654 siquas memorat uirtutis habet.  Per. says "I shall show myself not only as
good as my word, but better."  For dabo ex me tibi cp. hine
indidem expromam tibi 666.
657. neges. This is a transitive form of uigere found in old
Lat. = "to cause to be," it should be recognised in Lucr.
v. I298 = "'to guide": so here" you guide all your principles in conformity with (you make them conform to) charm
of manner": cp. aeguora salsa veges ingentibu' uentis Enn. ap.
Non.
658. aurichalco contra, "I would give their weight in
gold for."  This word is a corruption of opeciXaAfos " mountain
copper," and the corruption was caused by a false etymology
from aurum. It is often found in PI. in this phrase, is used
in quite the same sense as auro, and is introduced merely for
the sake of varying the expression,  cum: see on I6.
659. illuc aetatis: see on 6i8.
662. conparebo, "I shall show myself rich in good offices
for all purposes" (in every capacity). Conparree also = " to be
forthcoming," ut qNuae inperes conpiareant Amph. ii. I. 83.
663. tristi iracundo. For the asyndeton see on 647.
665. liquidiusculusque. Bx enumerates the foil. examples
of this sort of comparative in Pl. and Ter.: maiusculus, meliusculus, nitidiusculus, plusculus, tardiusculus, unctiusculus;
and in Cic. longiusculus, minusculus, putidiusculus.
666. hinc indidem, '" from the same source (ex codem me)
I will produce for you the festive guest," that is, "I will show
you that I can act the star of the dinner table as well as the
learned counsel."  Cp. 656.
669. optio, "choice," a'lpEais; in As. i. I. 88. optio means
"' an assistant, adjutant," as often in Tac. Ad = "in addition
to."
672. tibi. Here Pleus. turns to Per.
676. deum   uirtute, " Thank Heaven."    The phrase is
found again, Aul., Capt., Pers., Trin.; and tua uirtute occurs
in the same sense in Truc.

677. es... aedes, "Eat, drink, enjoy yourself, be full of
gaiety, this is liberty hall." Onerare = "to fill to overflowing."
We find onerare aliquem uoluptatibus, laetitia, amoenitate, com.
moditatibus in the Comic Drama.
681. oblatratricem, " a scold." Latrare, " to bark," is used
in the sense of " to crave, demand vehemently" in Lucr. ii. 17
nil aliud sibi naturam latrare nisi ut &c.  In Cas. prol. 34
Latine (scripsit) Plautus cum latranti nomine, the joke (such as
it is) rests on the fact that there was a breed of dogs called
plauti. Artemona (As.), Cleostrata (Cas.), Dorippa (Rud.), and
the wife of Menaechmus are oblatratrices.
682. opus, "act, deed, business": cp. miserumst opus
Most ii. I. 2.; tr. " it is a pleasant thing."
683. nimio multost.   We find in Trin. nimium saeviter,
nimio plzuris, multo pluris; but nimio and multo are not found
together except here.
684. educta = educata.
686. mi uir. The ideal wife says mi uir, a term of endearment; the wife whom he would actually be likely to have is
made to call him simply uir in verse 690.
689. uerum prius. The constr. is: uerum (egone earn ducam domum) quae me e somno suscitet priusquam galli cantent.
The words hoc... audias in 688 are parenthetical.
suscitet dicat. For the asyndeton see on I37.
690. kalendis: sc. Martizs Hor. Carm. iii. 8. I. This was
the New Year's Day of the old Roman year; on it the Roman
matrons celebrated the festival of the Matronalia with offerings
to Juno, and gifts to each other.
qui iuuerim, "wherewithal I may gratify my mother."
69r. qui farcit: sc. da (ei) qui farcit. So (ei) qui condit.

stands for ex iis quas; and the very similar construction in
Cur. iv. 4. 34, cupio dare mercedem qui (i. e. ei qui) illunc
ubi sit commonstret mihi. R   followed by all recent German edd. has transposed v. 693 to after 697 without any
gain whatever, and for the words in the text reads da qui
faciam condimenta: see crit. n. Above in v. 8 I have retained
fartum as an expression strongly defended by ms authority,




_TO STES.

and by the alliteration in which the scene abounds, and quite
justified by the license of comic usage.    Here I believe
that qui farcit means the sausage-maker, a&Aavro7rcx-r{s, "he
who makes chopped c    oeat into sausages," "the dealer in
morelurn, alliatui," which was the staple food of the Roman
middle classes. But quifarcit may also mean " the dealer in
fat poultry," as in galuzlas et anseres sic farcito Cato R. R.
8I9; so Varr. R. R. 3. 9; Col. vili. 7. 4. Quz condit is "the
cook": cp. non ego item censam condzo ut alzi coci Pseud. iii. 2.
21; escas quas consditero ib. 41; quom condizut I non condimentis condiunt sed striz/ibus ib. 30.  R's. faciam condimenta
is not only against the mss, and itself objectionable as a phrase,
but is also out of keeping with the rest of the passage, in which
the wife is made always to ask for money to make presents, or
satisfy creditors, not to spend on manufactures of her own;
condimenta in PI. always means " spice, seasoning," and facere
condimenta really has no meaning.
quinquatribus.   The quinqzatrus maiores here referred to
was a festival in honour of Minciva, held from g9th to 23rd of
March (5th day after the Ides, whence the name).  The Quin.
mninusculae were held on the Ides of June, and lasted for three
days, but were called by the same name as the greater, quod
tibicines turn feriati zagantur per ztrbem  et conueniunt ad
aedem Mfineruae.
692. praecantatrici, "sorceress": see crit, n.
coniectrici,  interpreter of dreams": cp. somnizm conicere
Cur ii. 2. 3.
693. flagitiumst.  These words are supposed to mean "it
is a shame if nothing is sent to her: how cross she looks."
This, it will be allowed, does not give a very apt sense, even
granting that these words can have this meaning. But quae,
not quo, is the reading of all the mss worthy of the name. See
critical note, where I have defended quae supercilio spicit, and
suggested as an alternative a conjectural emendation of the passage.
694. plicatricem, lit. "clothes-folder": cp. uestiplica Trin.

toraria, "nurse,"   'iar. Ep.: preserved in gloss "toraria,
wA&vorp6dos " from torus, weayr.
698. damna mulierum, "losses arising from (occasioned
by) women"; daminum is for damZinum, neut. of old participle
of dare, according to R. Op. ii. 710; it is constantly opp. to
lucrum in Pi.: see Capt. ii. 2. 77, where damnum facere = "to
suffer a loss."  I do not believe in R's etymology.
699. usore: for uxore cp. morti 707, and see Introd. ii.

substantive implied in sacruficant: cp. 753 -712. ad exta, "to the sacrificial feast."

"to be silent."
715. inhiant.    For inhiant with accus., see n. on 482.
Observe nutrcant.

so pleasantly circumstanced, you are as well off as if you had

should give": cp. Trin. i. 2. 96-98.
732. is - eis: so in 735.
735. annona uilior. Pal. ends with a joke which relieves
the moralising of the last ten verses, and reminds the audience
who the speaker is.
737. The words quique eos uituperet begin this verse in the

takes either a genetive or a dependent clause, as here; e. g.
quoius me non paeniteat True. ii. 4  77; paenitet exornatae ut

probably a literal translation of the Gk. original.
745. seruientis seruitutem: see on 95.
747. meo rem remigio gero, "I take the matter into my
own hands."    The constant recurrence of metaphors taken
from nautical life betrays the adventitious character of Roman
Comedy. These figures, so natural to the ears of a seafaring
Athenian audience, are quite foreign to the habits of Roman
life: cp. the constant metaphorical usage of celocemn (e. g. 986,
As. ii r. I ), and the elaborate nautical figures in As. iii. I. I6,
Epid. i.. 47. See also below, 915-921.
749. quod occepi = ut occepi.
752. ueterem atque antiquam.     Veterem is   hackneyed,
worn out," as in uetus fabula, ueteres nummi; but antiquam
is merely "old, of old standing," not necessarily the worse for
the wear, and it is generally used in a good sense as artes antiquae Trin. i. 2. 34, antiqui mores ib. ii. 2. i8.
752. proletario, "common, low, vulgar" = plebeio, uili.

down to the present day. Wrongly, as I think. Non is the
reading of all the mss, including even F and Z. It has been
hastily assumed that non is an obvious slip, because at first
sight it seems inconsistent with the required sense. Yet a careful consideration will show that it is nunc which is inconsistent with the whole tone of the play, while non is a thoroughly
Plautine touch, and gives a sentiment entirely suited to the
character of the speaker. Palaestrio says that the Miles boasts
"that all the women in Ephesus uninvited run after him."
Now if we read nunc, Periplecomenus replies, "Aye, faith
there's many a man in Ephesus would fain thou wert now
lying," and thus he pays a tribute to the attractions of the
Miles, and represents him as really a lady-killer and successful
rival of husbands. Yet the Mliles is throughout depicted as a




MILES G1 ORIOS VS.


MAalvolio without any of Malvolio's refinement-one who
fancies himself irresistible, while he is really intolerable to
women of every class for his vanity, his stupidity, and his
perfumed curls. This is plainly put in I39I, 2:
Qui omnis se amare credit quemque aspexerit,
Quem omnes oderunt qua uzWi quaa muleres.
Again, in 923, Acroteleutium says
Populi odium quidni nouerim magnidicum cincinnatum.
And lastly, observe the closely parallel passage, 91-94, which,
though probably not by Plautus, yet shows what view was
taken of the character of the AMiles by the actors of the play:Ait sese ultro omnis mulieres sectarier:
Is deridiculost quaqua incedit omnibus:
Itaque hic meretricis labiis dum ductant eum
Videas maiorem partem ualgis sauiis.
The conjecture nzne is, therefore, certainly wrong. But what
meaning would non, the reading of all the mss, give to the sentence? A meaning, thoroughly consistent with the character of
Periplecomenus, on painting which Plautus has spent already
much pains; and he might therefore fairly expect the idiosyncrasies of Per. to be now familiar to the audience. Per. has
been carefully described (670-720) as an opponent ofmatrimony
and an upholder of the superior blessedness of a celibate life.
Now, on hearing that the Miles boasts that all the women go
after him unasked, he observes, "I' faith, there's many a man
in Ephesus would fain your words were true;" that is, there is
many a husband would be glad enough to find himself rid of
his wife by reason of the attractions of the Miles-glad enough
to see his wife running after the Miles or anyone else, provided
only she left him.  Of course Per. uses sectarier in a slightly
different sense from that which it bears in the mouth of Palaestrio. But that heightens rather than lowers the probability of
this view.

Per. originally meant to ask does Pal. need a "swell" woman,
but then plays on the meaning of /aua,just explained. Pal. again,
affecting to understand lautam literally, replies siccam at sucidam, "dry but juicy": these words also have a double
meaning, and describe a state of body which we might call "in
good hard condition, but not overtrained ": cp. corpus solidumr
et suciplenum Ter. Enn. 318. Siccus also means "sober" in
PI., and is opposed to mad'idus " drunken."
792. crinis.  "Married ladies in Rome used to arrange their
hair in a high toupe called tutulus fastened on the top of the
head by means of ribbons. This, at least, seems to us the
right explanation of the description of the tutzzlus by Varro (vii.
44), ttuulus appellatur ab eo quod mnatres familias crines conuolutos ad ztertcem  capitis quos habent uitla uelatos, dicebant
tutulos, siue ab eo quod id tuendi capilli causa febat, sive ab eo

perdoctam in 258.
80o. eius modist. These words are parenthetical: cp. 921;
the usage is common in P1.: see, e. g. Amph. i. I. 286, ii. I. 45;
As. iv. I. 43, v. 2. 85; Men. iv. 2. 52: there is a longer parenthesis in Cur. ii. 3. 75.
802. studiosus, not found elsewhere with dat.; it here
follows the regimen of the verb studere; it is found with ad
and in, and absolutely.           aliae = alii.
807. quem, fem. in old Lat.
8o8. pax, "enough."   Hesychius explains 7rd4 by T7'Xos
xeet. The word of course has nothing to do with the Lat.
word pax. In Trin. iv. 2. 49 paxperiisse ilico we may translate
"hey presto, gone."  So pax: nil amplius Ter. Heaut. 717.

826. qui, " How came it that he went asleep?  VWith his
eyes."  The same joke recurs in Mere. i. 2. 72.
830. uotuit = Uelzuit. So uocare is the archaic form ofuacare.
Hence the play on the word uocent in Cas. iii. I. 13:St. Fac habeant linguam tuae aedes. AZ. Quid ita? SI. Quom ueniam
uocent.
83I. heminas. The hemina = half a sextarius.
832. in prandium, "for his luncheon."
834. quia enim: see IooI. "Why! because."      Enim is
corroborative, not illative: see on I289.
835. gutturem: see on I8.
842. Iurcio. So Fl. spells the name of this slave. He holds
that such characters should always have a Greek name; but a
stronger reason for giving up the ordinary reading, Lucroz, is that
that word would of course come from lucrum, which has the za
naturally short. Now, Plautine prosody does not permit the
lengthening of a natnu ally short vowel by a succeeding mute and
liquid. Lucrio discruciabere can hardly be admitted either, for
a dactyl in this part of the senarius is avoided by P1. Yet Lucrio
would give an excellent sense to an otherwise somewhat pointless verse, "in spite of your auspicious name, you will come to
the rack."  PI., moreover, is fond of playing on names. We
have in the BacchJdes a play on Avuas and ludus; in the Persa
on arupiwyv and aZur; in the Pseudulus on Zi/xias and simia.
844. itan uero, " Oh, yes!" ironical.
delices, '" blab" = deliques = clarify or strain, hence clear
up, explain.
845. sagina... cellaria, "my storeroom-cramming."
846. promptet = promat.
848. uerum, " but this is how it was."
850. hoc - hc de cause, and li = illic; " that was the reason
why the winc-ja. s so often stood on their heads there"
(i. e. were tuined upside down, to empty them of their contents). See on 297; so istoc in next verse = ista de causa.
851. cassabant = quassabant: cp. delices = deliques; "that
was not the reason why the jars were so unsteady."

852. loculi, "spot," dimin. of locus.    P1. has some
strange dimin., e.g. recula "a trifle" (Frag.); specula "a
gleam of hope " Cas.; uxorcula Cas.; ralla (= rarula) Epid.
853. aula = olla.                       sic, 8EICTKrKs.
855. conplebatur = comjlebat se.
856. ubi... cadi, The Roman cadi and amphorae were
long, slender vessels, ending in a point. They were usually
buried in the ground to one-half or two-thirds of their length,
or put up against the wall of the cellar in an oblique position, to
prevent them from falling (Guhl and Koner, p. 458). The
latter position is probably the one referred to here, for thus only
can the joke (such as it is) be explained. The slave pretends
that there was one slippery spot, owing to which the cadi sometimes slipped from their position, and emptied their contents
into the pitcher, aula, which stood hard by; hence, when the
aula began its revels the cadi tottered, whereas usually the
drinking and staggering are done by the same person.
857. iam, "by this time, it has come to this that": iam in
the next verse and 863 means " presently."
862. This verse, like 113I, is addressed to the spectators:
huic refers to Pal. For the unnatural position of hzuic, cp. illic
hoc homo denuo uoltpallium detexere Amph. i. I. 138; there is
a similar hyperbaton in Amph. ii. 2. 16; As. i. I6.
865. infortunium, "the punishment"; Lurcio makes over
his share of it to Pal.
873. succedit sub manus, " comes to hand" (lends itself to
my manipulation), a metaphor probably taken from pottery.
ACT III.-SCENE III.
875. ordine, "from beginning to end."
88. meretricem... clamst, " everyone knows how much
good there is in reminding a woman like me."  An ironical
remark. Literally, "' it is no secret (ironically) how much good
there is in reminding one like me."  But nil clamst is a very
doubtful expression, and probably we should read me or mi
clamst. In PI. clam is followed by dat. accus. and abl.

882. ultro, "unasked."
883. morium, " a particle."  Morium is the Latinized form
of uS4piov, a particle. P1. very often gives a Greek word a Latin
inflexion-as in dulice, euschenze, comoedice, compsissume-in
this play; and prot/zymiam  Stich. ii. 2. II; eccheumatis
Poen. iii. 3. 88. We also find munsice, basilice, more (ojwpcs),
prothyme, iancratzce, athletice. Ritschl's loream, which has
been generally accepted, is not at all like moram of the mss,
and such an expression is utterly unsuited to Acr.: "the small
thin wine of your discourse " is much too high-flown for Acr.,
and is not in any way borne out by her other words. Adbibere
auribus is such a very common figure that it does not in any
way justify the introduction of loream. In fact, adbibere auribus can hardly be called a figurative expression at all. The use
of Gk. words with Lat. inflexions is quite a characteristic of Old
Lat., e. g. schemam  (ox/ua) Amph. prol. 117; glaucumam
('yAicwcoua) Mll. 148; and Priscian quotes syrmam from Valerius; diademam friom Pomponius; dogmami from Laberius;
so lampadis (abl.) should probably be read in Men. v. 2. 28,
and lam7badamz Cas. iv. 4. G6: cp. also architectus in 90o,
though we find archilectones 919, architectonem Most. iii. 2. 73.
So also Tranius for Tranio, Al/cmeus for 'AAitcuWv, Electrus for
'HheTrp6coYv.
884. potisset =potesset =posse/; so potissit =possit, potisse =
posse.
deasciari. This word means " to hue or cut with an axe,"
and is usually applied to the removing of rough excrescences;
hence = "to smooth or polish "; so deruncinare, II42, means
"to plane off."  These words may both be translated by our
slang phrase, "to polish off"; the phrases mean "to cheat,
cajole," the victim of the imposture being compared to the
wood which the joiner fashions as he pleases, just as the cunning
slave makes the Aziles believe what he pleases. The idea
underlying the phrase succedit sub manus negotium ("accommodates itself to my manipulation ") is somewhat similar.

"inasmuch as (especially as) her sister has arrived," &c. This
usage is ascribed to sicut only in one other passage in Latin
literature, Epid. ii. 2. 87, for Pers. i. 3. 57 is a highly doubtful
passage. Langen (Beitrdge, p. 249) rightly denies the possibility of this usage of sicut, and adduces passages in which sicut
is used to introduce an explanation or illustration of what goes
before: see above on v. 5I8, where he would render sicut...
nescio 'I I mean, I do not know."  Epid. ii. 2. 87 easily falls in
with his theory, nunc occasiostfaciundipriusquam in urbem
aduenerit, j sicut cras hic aderit; hodie haud uenerit, "before he
comes to the city, I mean before to-morrow," " morgen nimlich wird er hier sein." Here the sentence is elliptical. Pal.
would naturally have said, "Tell her to go where she pleasesI mean, tell her to go with her sister and mother, who are waiting for her." What he does say is, " tell her to go where she
pleases   (and an opportunity offers itself), " I mean (for
instance) her mother and sister are here," &c. The sentence is better explained by supposing sicut to rest on some
such ellipse as I have postulated, than to ascribe to sicut
a most unnatural and quite unexampled signification. Langen
supplies a slightly different ellipse, "Ich gebe dir diesen
Rath, die Mutter und Schwester sind namlich da, um    sie
zu holen.'   We might reproduce the idiom by a French
phrase, "Tell her to go where she pleases; a propos her
mother and sister are here, and want to take her."
977. occasionem....ut: cp. spes ut Bacch. iii. I. 3; cause

extrudam has been (perhaps hastily) accepted on the Lambinian
canon   extruditur qui intus est, excluditur qui uolt quidem
introire sed prohibetur introitu." Yet from one point of view,
extrudere " to put out" is hardly so suitable here as excludere,
"to put out and keep out "; and indeed excludam might be
defended by the use of prohibebo in an analogous passage in

my doings, who concerns himself with other people's business,
who lives at his own charges (and, therefore, not having to look
after his own affairs, has plenty of time to devote to other
people's)?" This passage is usually rendered unintelligible by
corrupt ms readings, curet and uiuat. I have corrected these.
They were, no doubt, assimilated to the mood of aucupet-a
very common error of copyists. Vesperi is the evening meal,
and qui de uesperi uiuit suo is one who can live on his own
resources, and therefore has the more time for busying himself
about other people's affairs. Cp. a very similar passage, and
one which throws much light on this, True. i. 2. 40, 41:A. Nimis otiosum te arbitror hominem esse. DI. Quianam arbitrare?
A. Quia tuo uestimento et cibo alienis rebus curas.
So that gui de uesperi uiuit suo means pretty much the same as
otiosus homzo. If we read curet and uiuat it would be necessary
to translate, "Is there anyone here to pry into my affairs, to
concern himself with other people's business, to live at his own
charges?" which obviously runs counter to the meaning of the

" Oh," replies the Ariles, "it is all the same as if I were looking
at her, so completely do I trust your account of her. Moreover, this little craft, as you call her (Milphidippa), inclines
me to love in absence." Pal. "Not (to love) her; she is betrothed
to me; if the mistress weds you to-day, I shall at once make the

maid my wife."  The Miles meant to say that the soubrette disposed him to amorous thoughts about the mistress, though not
present. Pal. understands him to say that in the absence of the
mistress the maid inspires him with love for her (the maid). So
Bx understands the passage, but both reading and meaning are
doubtful. On the whole, I am disposed to think that the Miles
does express amorous feelings for the maid in the absence of the
mistress. Such a trait is consistent with his character as elsewhere pourtrayed in the play. Cp. IIo5-1115. Celocula dimin.
of celox (as Milph. has been called, 986).
Ioo8. conloqui generally takes accus. in P1.
1oIo. euenat, Old Latin for eueniat; so euenant for eueniant, and in other compounds of uenire, as peruenat, aduenat.
1012. homo.. sit, "There is one (that is, I, Pal.) who
knows where is what you (i. e. the Miles) want."
1014. immo etiam, " Just so. And yet you do not keep it
dark."  For immo etiam, cp. 140I; also immo etiam; uerum
quantum adtulerit nescio Bacch. ii. 3. 82; Rud. ii. 4. 23; and
Poen. i. I. 60.
IOI6. signum, "watchword, parole" = avuqfuca: cp. cum
signum nzeum acceperit Tac. H. i. 38. It was the custom for
the Emperor to] give the watchword signum dedit OPTIMAE
MATRIS Tac. Ann. xiii. 2.
Baccharum. The secret society of the Bacchae was broken
up about 568; hence it has been argued that this play must
have been written before that year. It must have been written
after 550, as may be inferred from the allusion to Naevius
(v. 21 I); but this verse can hardly be held to give any datum
for fixing a posterior limit, as of course the reference to the
Bacchae might well have been only a reminiscence of their
practices, merely suggested by the allusion to a password.

IoI8. ex procliuo planum; procliuus (classically procliuis)
is " downward sloping"; when contrasted withp lanus, as here,
and Rud. iv. 4. 28, it means " difficult "; yet when it stands by
itself it means "easy," as in tarn hoe quidern tibi in procliui
quam imnber estCapt. ii. 2. 86. It is wrong here to explain, with
Lindemann, "easy as it was, you have made it easier."  The




NOTES.                       209
fact is, that planum has two meanings — " evident" and "level,"
and ex proclzo is introduced merely to supply a play on planum,
without any thought of the comparative difficulty of going
downhill or travelling along a level plane; but in the passages
where it occurs by itself, the idea of the facility of downward
motion is clearly present to the mind of the writer. For enim,
see on 1289.
IoIg. uel adest uel non, "As you please, whatever you
wish," and as it is clear that the speaker desires the absence of
eavesdroppers, the phrase is equivalent to a statement that there
is no fear of a surprise. See on 25.

much humanity as he."  Volturius is generally a type of rapacity; Cic. calls Veires uolturius prouinciae; so also in Trin. i.

successive steps which led from the one notion to the other.

wrongly explained, as ifnmuluomn frcere meant "to bon' ow "; but

I won't part with any of it; I mean to keep it all myself.'
"To borrow" is mutluom sumzere, as in sipudorzs eoeas sumas
mutuom Amph. ii. 2. I87: cp. "affect a xirtue if you have it

word is probably connected with lzrae " entrails," Gk. Xop -8_,
XoA -dSes: cp. arsuspex. The only other places wheie the word
occurs in P1. are, As. ii. 2. 5o; iil. 2. 33; v. 2. 74; Cist. iv. 2.
8o; Rud. ii. 3. 17, 46; iv. 4. 96. A reference to these passages

I287. admisse = admisisse.
1289. Achiles. In the mss the verse runsMitto iam ut occidi Achilles ciuis passus est,
and the usual expedient has been to read enim for iam, so as to
preserve the metre. I have adopted the far simpler correction
of striking out one I in Achilles (see on o054). The reading
enim is not only unlikely as a conjecture (for why would enim
have been corrupted into iam of the mss?), but it is absolutely
inadmissible. Langen (Beztrige, pp. 261-27I) shows that enim
in Plautus is never causal (never = nam), but always corroborative; though in Terence it is used in the same sense as nam
(e. g. Hec. 833; Ad. 647). Hence Langen rejects Geppert's
nanctum enzm for namque enim of the mss in Trin. i. 2. 23;
and rightly explains enzim as corroborative in some passages
where it might seem to be causal. I find he suggests the same
correction as had occurred to me in this passage. The correction had been made in my critical notes before his Beitrdge had
appeared.

The old edd. (whom even Lorenz follows) read thus:Marzs causa hercle istoc ego oculo utor minus

they suppose there is a play on amare " to have a love affair,"
and a more " from the sea."  Pleusicles is made to say, "It is

be just as good as the other." But this would be an utterly
un-Latin pun. The pronunciation of a mnre must have been
quite unlike dnmdre. We do not find in P1. puns which are

sense, except in a fragment of PI. quoted by Priscian, secundum

adverbially. For the anastrophe, see 1047.
I355. gratiam rerum   omnium.     Gratiam is generally followed by pro, ob, quod, quom, quoniam; it takes accus. with
infin. only in ante-classical Latin. I do not know of any other
case in which it is followed by the gen. when it means " thankfulness, gratitude."  Gratia, followed by the gel., means
"excuse, release, pardon, forgiveness "; and this sense would
suit the present passage, but that graham facio would be
required instead of gr. habeo. P1. has a predilection for constructions with the gen.; we find a gen. after credere, As. ii. 4.
53; so also after mendax andfalsus.  Gratias is always used
with agere; but with habere, referre, debere always gratiam,
except when thanks are given by more than one person, or to
more than one person, e. g. As. iii. 2. I, perfidiae laudes gratiasque habemus merito magnas q quom, where he expressly adds
that he speaks for himself and his conlega; Trin. ivx. I. I, Neptuno [ gratis gratiasque habeo etfluctibzbs salsis. Poen. i. I. 6,

be taken as an exception to the rule, because the expression is

1383. cumulate commoditate       Commoditas has generally

in Plautus it is only used in sing., and always means " convenience, opportuneness," as above, 1134. Here commoditas is
used in reference to the "opportune appearance" of the
Miles. In Men. i. 2. 31 Men. says non potuisti magis per

also, is the usage of commnoditaternz in Poen. iv. 2. 94. In
Men. i. 2. 28 o mnea commodzits, o niea opportunitas salue, we
have a good instance of the proper meaning of this word in PI.
Again, Milphidiscus is addressed as nea commoditas in Poen. i.
3. 13; and Epidicus in Epid. v. i. 8. Here cumulate comm. is
an intentionally giotesque and inflated expression, "richly
blessed with opportuneness."
1386. expetit, "longs for": cp. Enn. apud Cic. Ac. ii. 89
assunt, me expelunt. This word in P1. means (I) "to demand," as in 620, also with object clause; (2) " to light upon,"

with accus. with in, and dat., Amph. i. 2. 33; ii. I. 42;
(3) absolutely, "to fall out, happen, occur," as in 393; (4) "to
outlast," as malo si quid bene facias id beneficium interit: I
bono si quid malefacias aetatem expetit Poen. iii. 3. 23, with
which compareThe evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.
— ulius Ccesar, 80, 8r.
1389. in statu, "has taken his stand," an expression derived
from fencing, "he is en-garde": so mouere hostem de statu
Liv. xxx. I8; minaci Porphyrion statu Hor. Carm. iii. 4. 54:
cp. " Thou knowest my old ward; here I lay, and thus I bore
my point."-Shakspere, Hen. IV. Pt. I. 215.
139I. quemque = quamcunque.
ACT V.
1394. rapite sublimem foras, " take him up, and pitch him
out."
1397. sit: for sit see Introd. ii.
I398. hoc: sc. cultro.
abdomen = testis; so corpus in Hor. and Phaedr.: cp. ile
Cat. lxiii. 5.
1400. haud etiam.   " Not yet; you speak too soon," i.e. in
comparison with what is about to happen, yourperii is too strong
a word for your present state; when we have done with you
then you may say, perzi.
inuolo. The indic. is often used in early Lat. for the deliberative conjunctive: so seco 1406, how soon am I to use the
knife?"
1405. em tibi, as usual, signifies that a blow has been inflicted. quor = cur.
1407. dispennite, vulgar form  of dispendite (dispandite):
so we have tennitur a variant of tenditur Ter. Phorm. iii.
I. I6.
1409. nihili factus = castratus.




K2OTES.                      221
1413. nepotulum: see 1265; the dimin. indicates contempt, as in muliercula, uocula, "my poor voice" Cic. Att. ii.
23. I.
I4I7. ut uiuam: sc. faxz'M, "I will undertake to live,"
&c.
1422. ne sis frustra, "so don't make any mistake about it":
cp. ne postules.
I424. mitis, beaten to a jelly."  There is a play on mittis
and mitzs: cp. mollisfulstibzis Aul. iii. 2. 8. Lorenz compares
lrerova ala'CryWiv Corn. Frag.
1427. causam hau dico. "I have not a word to say against
it, I accept the terms."
I43I. Philocomasio, dat. for gen.: see note on I.
1432. portam. I have preserved the accus. which is found
in A. We find exire limen in Ter. Hec. 378. Hence I believe
that in Capt. iii. 3. 4 the right reading is neque exitium
exiliost, that exizio is a verbal from exire (= Ecaiaas), and that
it governs exitium in the accus.; tr. "there is no escape from
ruin."  In later Lat. exire with accus. means " to get out of the
way of" as in tela... ext Verg. Aen. v. 438; so Lucr. v.
1330; vi. 1217.
I434. scelus uiri. PI. sometimes pushes this usage very
far; e.g. hallex uiri Poen. v. 5. 31; hominun  mendicabula
Aul. iv. 83.
1435. iure factum iudico, "my finding is, 'a true bill'";
the Miles is pronounced guilty of the offences laid to his
charge, and deserving of the punishment which he has met.
This is a Roman law expression. We have in this play several
allusions to Roman institutions (mingled with Gk. ones, e. g
agoranomus 727), such as lex aleariat I64; portam 359; frequens senatus s94; Apuli 653; kalendae, quinquatrus 690;
cluenta 789; manuplares 815; festuca 96I; ludi in the circus 991; Bacchae IoI6; imperare prouinciam 1159; Lar I339;
intestabizzs I420; as well as the allusion to the imprisonment of
Naevius, 212 ff. See also n. on 359.
1437. studeant with accus. is common in early Latin and in
Cic. Epp., but only with neuter pronouns and adjectives; has




222             X1LES GLO 01OS VS.
res here is in sense the same as a neuter pronoun; however, we
have z'lum student Truc. ii. 3. i6, and res Graecas studet is
quoted from Titinius.
cantor.  In the ms B the different characters are indicated
by letters of the Greek alphabet.  Thus the character who
appears first is called A throughout, the second B, and so
on. Now, if one of the actors said plaudite, it would be
always the actor who left the stage last; so that he might well
be designated by the last letter of the Gk. alphabet. Because
Hor. in a well-known passage (A. P. I55) says, donec cantor
"uos plaudite " dicat it has been questioned whether it was one
of the actors who said plaudite or a person introduced for this
special purpose and called cantor. In Terence and in the Trinummus of Plautus the letter w is prefixed to the speaker of the
word plaudzte; in the other plays of Plautus no designation of
the speaker of the wordplaudite is found. Cantor is inserted on
conjecture. See Introd. III.

" For really ripe scholarship, extensive acquaintance with Latin literature, and familiar knowledge of continental criticism, ancient and modern,
it is unsurpassed amsng English editions."-PROF. CONINGTON IN
LEDINBURGHi REVIEW."
" M. IMIAYOR'S work is beyond the reach of common literary compliment. It is not only a commentary on Juvenal, but a mine of the most
valuable and interesting information on the history, social condition,
manners, and beliefs of the Roman world during the period of the early
Empire "-PROF. NETTLESHIP IN THE "ACADEMY."
"Scarcely any valuable contribution that has been hitherto made to the
interpretation of Juvenal will be sought in vain in this commentary.
This excellent work meets the long felt want of a commentary to Juvenal
on a level with the demands of modern science.-PROF. FRIEDLANDER

is concerned, is nearly all that could be desired..... Its great merit, in
addition to its scientific arrangement and the attractive style so familiar
to the readers of Green's Short History is that the facts are so presented
as to compel the careful student to think for himself.... The work may
be read with pleasure and profit by anyone; we trust that it will gradually
find its way into the higher forms of our schools. With this text-book as
his guide, an intelligent teacher might make geography what it really isone of the most interesting and widely-instructive studies."

Book VI. is fitted for higher Classes, and as an Introduction to

"They are far above any others that have appeared both in form and
substance....  The editor of the present series has rightly seen that
reading books must 'aim chiefly at giving to the pupils the power of
accurate, and, if possihle, apt and skilful expression; at cultivating in
then a good literary taste, and at arousing a desire of further reading.
This is done by taking care to select the extracts fromn true English classics,
going up in Standard VI. course to Chaucer, Hooker, and Bacon, as well
as Wordsworth. Macaulay, and Froude... This is quite on the right
track, and indicates justly the ideal which we ought to set before us."GUARDIAN
