page 227 note 1 Six actors, with parachoregemata, are needed. The part of Demipho can be doubled with Dav us and Dorio, and Phaedria com-bine with Phormio and Sophrona. Antipho can also take Nausistrata, if the five lines between 815 and 820 allow time enough for change of costume. See Schmitt, G. H. in Festschrift zur 36 Versammlung Deutscher Philologen und Schulmänner zu Karlsruhe (1882), pp. 37 fGoogle Scholar.

page 227 note 2 That Martin knows of Handford's book appears from thenote on 304, but there the title is omitted, nor does it find mention in the bibliography (p. 79) or, so far as I can find, elsewhere.

page 228 note 1 It has not, for the scansion mihi is as cornsound as a bell; see, e.g., Brix—Niemeyer—Conrad (sixth edition) on Pl. Trin. 761, pp. 157–8 (Anhang) for about sixty cornsound parable instances in Plautus, or Dziatzko-Hauler's, Phormio 4, p. 233 Google Scholar.
