[Transcriber's Note:
This translation of Terence was published by Harper & Brothers as the second part of an omnibus volume also containing the 1853 Riley translation (prose, with notes and commentary). The Riley portion has been released as a separate e-text, #22188.
This e-text includes readings from the 1768 second edition of Colman. In general, only differences in wording are included; variations in spelling and punctuation were disregarded. It is not known whether the Harper's text was based on the first edition of Colman or some later edition. Where the Harper text was clearly in error, the 1768 reading was substituted in the main text. In all cases, the alternative readings are shown at the end of each Scene.
Stage directions in braces such as {MICIO and DEMEA apart.} were added by the transcriber where the original format was impractical.
Each play is a free-standing unit.]
