H. Jacobsohn, a pupil of Leo, in a Göttingen dissertation of 1904, ‘Quaestiones Plautinae’ declared that Plautus allowed Hiatus and Syllaba Anceps at two places in the line (these places are now called loci Jacobsohniani):—
(i) at the fourth arsis of the Iambic Senarius (and the corresponding part of the Trochaic Septenarius),
(ii) at the second arsis of a Trochaic Septenarius.
page 33 note 1 One might also cite these lines from the Oxford text:—
Capt. 387 id petam id perseqnarque corde et animo atque auribus
Curc. 204 aeditumum aperire fanum. quo usque, quaeso, ad hunc modum
Merc. 1024 haec adeo uti ex hac nocte primum lex teneat senes
Poen. 824 quoi homini erus est consimilis velut ego habeo hunc huiusmodi
Stitch. 692 sat est servo homini modeste facere sumptum quam ampliter
In none of these is there a syntactical pause at the second arsis. All the lines however are marked as defective by Goetz-Schoell (Teub. ed. alt.).
page 33 note 2 codd. halapanta Paul. Fest. 90, 24.
page 34 note 1 Three examples appear incontrovertible (Poen. 1295, Stich. 344, 374). Cas. 1004 is a defective line. Editt. scan Pseud. 317:—
aut terra aut marí alicunde evolvam id argentum tibi.
The example in Truc. 235 (AP)—
is amatur hic apud nos, qui quod dedit, id oblitust tamen–
disappears in transposition (Murent., Goetz-Sch.):–
ís hic amatur ápud nos qui quod dedit id obli-tust datum.
(But Lindsay scans Truc. 231-231 as Iamb. Oct.)
