Note 3 — Chapter IV · TERENCE AND HIS SUCCESSORS
Reading edition
See Wessner, Aemilius Asper. E.g., the refusal of Charinus to win his love by unworthy threats (317), and Pamphilus’ refusal to take credit for a deed which he says a gentleman could not fail to perform (330). It should also be noticed that in the Perinthia Menander had a scene of brutal slave-torturing which Terence took the liberty of eliminating.
