[Footnote 26: Leo brackets the following v., 962-965: _ibi vix me exsolvi: id periclum adsimilo, Vlixem ut praedicant_ _cognitum ab Helena esse proditum Hecubae, sed ut olim ille se_ _blanditiis exemit et persuasit se ut amitteret,_ _item ego dolis me illo extuli e periclo et decepi senem_] [Then it was I just managed to get free: this danger I liken to that they tell of when Ulysses was recognized by Helen and betrayed to Hecuba. But as he, in former days, got away by means of his honeyed words and persuaded her to let him go, so also I, by means of my wiles, got out of danger and deceived the old man.] [Footnote 27: Leo brackets the following v., 973-977: _sed Priamus hic multo illi praestat: non quinquaginta modo,_ _quadringentos filios habet atque equidem omnis lectos sine probro:_ _eos ego hodie omnis contruncabo duobus solis ictibus._ _nunc Priamo nostro si est quis emptor, comptionalem senem_ _vendam ego, venalem quem habeo, extemplo ubi oppidum ex pugnavero._] [But this Priam is far superior to that one, not a mere fifty sons has he; he has four hundred, yes, and every one is unquestionably a choice and flawless specimen. This day I will annihilate ’em all with just two blows. Now, if there is anyone who cares to buy our Priam, I will sell off the old gentleman I have on sale, as a job lot, the moment I have taken the town by storm.] [Footnote 28: _ut quod iubeo facias_ follows in MSS: Leo brackets.] [Footnote 29: Leo brackets the following v., 1081: _duxi, habui scortum. potavi, dedi, donavi, sed enim id raro._] [Footnote 30: Leo brackets the following v., 1100: _immo edepol sic ludos factum_] [Footnote 31: _Minae ambae_ Colerus: _thimiame_ MSS.] [Footnote 32: _tis_ Schroeder: _is_ MSS.] * * * * * [Transcriber’s Corrections: _Bacchides_ (_The Two Bacchises_) I. 2.
