e Dramatis Personae of the Andria.]

[Footnote 8: See the Dramatis Personae of the Adelphi.]

[Footnote 9: From +kratos+, "strength."]

[Footnote 10: See the Dramatis Personae of the Andria.]

[Footnote 11: From Doris, his country, a part of Caria.]

[Footnote 12: From +naus+, "a ship," and +stratos+, "an army."]

[Footnote 13: See the Dramatis Personae of the Eunuchus.]

[Footnote 14: _The Roman Games_)--The "ludi Romani," or "Roman
Games," were first established by Ancus Marcius, and were
celebrated in the month of September.]

[Footnote 15: _Four times_)--The numerals signifying "four,"
Donatus takes to mean that this was the fourth Play composed by
Terence; it is, however, more generally supposed that the meaning
is, that it was acted four times in one year.]

[Footnote 16: _Being Consuls_)--M. Valerius Messala and C. Fannius
Strabo were Consuls in the year from the Building of the City 591,
and B.C. 162.]

[Footnote 17: _Since the old Poet_)--Ver. 1. He alludes to his old
enemy, Luscus Lavinius, who is mentioned in all his Prologues,
except those to the Hecyra.]

[Footnote 18: _While one implored_)--Ver. 8. "Et eam plorare,
orare ut subveniat sibi." This is probably in allusion to some
absurd passage in one of the Plays of Lavinius. It is generally
supposed to mean, that the stag implores the young man; but as the
youth is mad, the absurdity, of the passage is heightened if we
suppose that he implores the stag, and, in the moment of its own
danger, entreats it to come to his own assistance; as certainly
the Latin will admit of that interpretation. --Ovid has a somewhat
similar passage in the Pontic Epistles, B. ii. Ep. ii. l. 39: "The
hind that, in its terror, is flying from the savage dogs,
hesitates not to trust itself to the neighboring house."]

[Footnote 19: _Epidicazomenos_)--Ver. 25. A Play of Apollodorus,
so called from that Greek word, signifying "one who demands
justice from another," in allusion to Phormio, who is the
complainant in the suit, which is the foundation of the plot.]

[Footnote 20: _Was driven from the place_)--Ver. 32. Alluding,
probably, to the disturbances which took place at the first
representation of the Hecyra, and which are mentioned in the
Prologues to that Play.]

[Footnote 21: _Davus_)--Davus is a protatic character, only
introduced for the purpose of opening the story.]
