Note 545 — ACT V.

Cheator was a cant term for a rogue who made his living by cheating at dice.—“Cheating Law—or the art of winning money by false dice: those that practise this study call themselves cheators, the dice cheaters, and the money which they purchase cheats.”—Dekker’s Bellman of London (Works, ed. Grosart, iii. 117).
