[Transcriber's Note:

This translation of Terence was published by Harper & Brothers as
the second part of an omnibus volume also containing the 1853 Riley
translation (prose, with notes and commentary). The Riley portion
has been released as a separate e-text, #22188.

This e-text includes readings from the 1768 second edition of
Colman. In general, only differences in wording are included;
variations in spelling and punctuation were disregarded. It is not
known whether the Harper's text was based on the first edition of
Colman or some later edition. Where the Harper text was clearly in
error, the 1768 reading was substituted in the main text. In all
cases, the alternative readings are shown at the end of each Scene.

Stage directions in braces such as {_MICIO and DEMEA apart._} were
added by the transcriber where the original format was impractical.

Each play is a free-standing unit.]
