Note 15 — Front matter
Paul Nixon translation
: The Asinaria was adapted from the Ὀναγὸς of Demophilus; the Casina from the Κληρούμενοι, the Rudens from an unknown play, perhaps the Πήρα, of Diphilus; the Stichus, in part, from the Ἀδελφοί α' of Menander. Menander's Δὶς ἐξαπατῶν was probably the source of the Bacchides, while the Aulularia and Cistellaria probably were adapted from other plays (titles unknown) by Menander. The Mercator and Trinummus are adaptations of Philemon's Ἐμπορος and Θησαυρός, the Mostellaria very possibly is an adaptation of his Φάσμα, the Amphitruo, perhaps, an adaptation of his Νὺξ μακρά.
