Note 203 — INTRODUCTION (continued 2)
Reading edition
Robert would emend the text so that the statement would explain the proscenium instead of the hyposcenium; cf. Hermes, XXXII (1897), 448. In that case ὑπό must mean “behind,” a possible meaning, and Pollux would be speaking of the proscenium in a theater with a stage. Pollux includes the proscenium in his catalogue of theater parts (see pp. 97 f., above), but does not define it.
