Note 8 — Chapter I · THE FALL OF THE THEATRES
Reading edition
The Sententiae of Publilius Syrus were collected from his mimes in the first century A.D., and enlarged from other sources during the Middle Ages (Teuffel-Schwabe, § 212). Cf. the edition by W. Meyer, 1880. The other fragments of the mimographs are included in O. Ribbeck, Comicorum Romanorum Fragmenta (3rd ed. 1898). Philistion of Bithynia, about the time of Tiberius, gave the mime a literary form once more in his κωμῳδίαι βιολογικαί (J. Denis, La Com. grecque, ii. 544; Croiset, Hist. de la Litt. grecque, v. 449).
