[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the
"real" (unicode/utf-8) version of the file. Greek words have been
transliterated and shown between +marks+; the "oe" ligature is shown
as two letters without other marking.

This translation of Terence was published in an omnibus volume, also
containing the 1765 Colman translation (text only, omitting notes and
commentary). Since there is no shared material, the two versions have
been released as separate e-texts. More information about the Riley
translation and its publishing history is given at the end of this
e-text.

In the original text, words and phrases supplied by the translator
were printed in _italics_. In this e-text they are shown in {braces}.
Italics in the notes and commentary are shown conventionally with
_lines_.

Each play is a free-standing unit with its own footnotes.]
