[Footnote 175: E. g. Pseudolus, 1081: 'Nugas theatri: verba quae in comoediis Solent lenoni dici, quae pueri sciunt.' Cf. also Captivi, 778.] [Footnote 176: The influence of Plautus may be traced in the style of Catullus, and perhaps in the sentiment of the passage in Lucretius, iv. 1121, etc.; and that of Terence also in Catullus, and in the Satires, Epistles, and some of the Odes of Horace.] [Footnote 177: E.g. the dance of Pseudolus. Pseud. 1246, etc.] [Footnote 178: Cic. Brut. 15. 60; De Senec. 14. 50.] [Footnote 179: Cf. Cicero's testimony to the purity of the style of Naevius and Plautus with his criticism on the style of Caecilius and Pacuvius. Terence, who was by birth a foreigner, was probably brought to Rome as a child.] [Footnote 180: 'Puplicisne adfinis fuit an maritumis negotiis?'--Trinum. 331.] [Footnote 181: Cf. the line at the end of the Prologue to the Cistellaria (Act i. Sc. 3)-- 'Vt vobis victi Poeni poenas sufferant.' The 'Didascalia' to the Stichus is one of the few preserved. From it we learn that the play was acted P. Sulpicio, C. Aurelio, Cos., i.e. 200 B.C.] [Footnote 182: This is shown in some cases by reference to seats in the theatre, which were not introduced till 155 B.C. In the Prologue to the Casina it is said that only the older men present could remember the first production of that play in the lifetime of the poet. The Prologues to the Aulularia, Trinummus, and Rudens, are probably genuine, and also the speech of _Auxilium_ in the Cistellaria.] [Footnote 183: Cf. Rudens, 1249-- Spectavi ego pridem comicos ad istum modum Sapienter dicta dicere atque is plaudier, Quom illos sapientis mores monstrabant poplo. Set quom inde suam quisque ibant divorsi domum Nullus erat illo pacto ut illi iusserant. ] [Footnote 184: Pseud. 687.] [Footnote 185: E.g. Rudens, 986.] [Footnote 186: 'Quid? Sarsinatis ecquast, si Umbram non habes.' Mostel. 757.] [Footnote 187: 'Post Ephesi sum natus, noenum in Apulis, noenum Aminulae.' Mil. Glor. 653. 'Quid tu per barbaricas urbes iuras? _Erg._ Quia enim item asperae Sunt ut tuum victum autumabas esse.' Captiv. 884-5. ] [Footnote 188: Capt. 879; Trinum. 609; Truc. iii. 2. 23; Bacch. 24.] [Footnote 189: 'Quid tibi, malum, hic ante aedis clamitatiost? An ruri censes te esse? apscede ab aedibus.' Most. 6. 7. ] [Footnote 190: Vol. ii. p. 440; Eng. Trans.] [Footnote 191: Cf. Trinum. 820, etc.; Menaechmi, 228, etc.; Stichus, 402, etc.] [Footnote 192: 'Ita iam quasi canes, haud secus circumstabant navem turbine venti, Imbres, fluctus, atque procellae infensae (fremere) frangere malum, Ruere antennas, scindere vela, ni pax propitia foret praesto.' Trinum. 835-7. ] [Footnote 193: E.g. Rudens, 906; Trinum. 820.]
