NOTES.
NOTE I.
DRAMATIS PERSONÆ. In the list given in the Folio PHRYNIA, TIMANDRA, and
others are omitted. 'Timon's creditors' are termed 'usurers.' VENTIDIUS
is called VENTIGIUS, PHILOTUS, PHILO, and HORTENSIUS, HORTENSIS. VARRO
and LUCIUS occur among the names of the servants, and the latter has
been retained by all editors except Mr Dyce in his second edition.
In the play the servants address each other by the names of their
respective masters: hence the confusion. Perhaps all the names assigned
to the servants should be considered as names of their masters.
'Hortensius,' for instance, has not a servile sound. Flaminius and
Servilius may be regarded rather as gentlemen in waiting than menials.
Sidney Walker suggests that CAPHIS should be CAPYS.
The list as given by modern editors contains successive additions and
alterations made by Rowe, Johnson and Capell, which it is unnecessary
to specify further.
