[Footnote 1062: The festive psaltery.--Ver. 327. Suidas tells us that 'naulium,' or 'nablium,' was a name of the psaltery. Josephus says that it had twelve strings. Strabo remarks that the name was of foreign origin.] [Footnote 1063: Callimachus.--Ver. 329. See the Amores, Book ii. El. iv. 1. 19: and the Pontic Epistles, Book iv. Ep. xvi. 1. 32, and the Notes of the passages.] [Footnote 1064: Poet of Cos.--Ver. 330. The poet Philetas. He flourished in the time of Philip and Alexander the Great. Anacreon was a lyric poet of Teios, and a great admirer of the juice of the grape.] [Footnote 1065: Or him, through whom.--Ver. 332. Some think that he means Menander, from whom Terence borrowed many of his scenes; he probably alludes to the Phormio of Terence, where the old men, Chremes and Demipho, are deceived by Geta, the cunning slave. See the Tristia, Book ii. 1. 359: and 69.] [Footnote 1066: Propertius.'--Ver. 333. See the Tristia, Book ii. 1. 465, and the Note.] [Footnote 1067: Tibullus.--Ver. 334. See the Amores, Book iii. EL ix.] [Footnote 1068: Varro.--Ver. 335. See the Pontic Epistles, Book iv. Ep. xvi. 1. 21; and the Amores, Book i. El. xv. 1. 21, and the Notes to the passages.] [Footnote 1069: Lofty Rome.--Ver. 338. He refers here to the Æneid of Virgil.] [Footnote 1070: Two sides.--Ver. 342. Both the males and the females.] [Footnote 1071: Composition.--Ver. 346. He takes to himself the credit of being the inventor of Epistolary composition.] [Footnote 1072: Masters of posture.--Ver. 351. These persons, who were also called 'ludii,' or 'histrlones,' required great suppleness of the sides, for the purpose of aptly assuming expressive attitudes; for which reason he calls them 'artifices lateris.' See the First Book, 1. 112; and the Tristia, Book ii, 1. 497, and the Note.] [Footnote 1073: Which she must call for.--Ver. 356. Probably at the game of 'duodecim seripta,' or 'twelve points,' like our backgammon; sets of three 'tesseræ,' or dice, were used for throwing; he recommends her to learn the game, and to know on what points to enter when taken up, and what throws to call for. See the last Book, 1. 203; and the Tristia, Book ii. 1. 473, and the Note.] [Footnote 1074: The pieces.--Ver. 357. See the Note to 1. 207, in the last Book.] [Footnote 1075: The warrior, too.--Ver. 359. He alludes to one of the principal pieces, whose fate depends upon another.] [Footnote 1076: Let the smooth balls.--Ver. 361. He seems to allude here to a game played by putting marbles (which seems to be the meaning of 'pilæ leves,' 'smooth balls,') into a net with the month open, and then taking them out one by one without moving any of the others.] [Footnote 1077: Kind of game.--Ver. 363. These two lines do not seem to be connected with the game mentioned in 1. 365, but rather to refer to that mentioned in 1. 355.]
