Note 987 — Chapter VII · THE AUDIENCE

Alciphron, Epist. ii. 3. [Rogers, l.c. quotes a sentence of Glycera’s supposed reply, where she speaks of herself as standing in the wings and watching the performance, to prove that ὁρώσης καὶ καθημένης ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ does not imply that women were in the audience. But καθημένης ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ naturally and almost technically means this; and the two passages need not be taken to refer to the same point in Glycera’s supposed proceedings.]
