About this book

The Captivi and the Mostellaria of Plautus is literally translated with notes by Henry Thomas Riley, B. A. The contents list names, among others, Dramatis Personae, the Acrostic Argument and the Prologue under The Captivi. The contents list also gives stage directions that name, among others, Philocrates, Tyndarus and Aristophontes.

A footnote says that Harpastum was a small ball used by the Greeks, which was scrambled for as soon as it came to the ground. In one exchange, a speaker labelled STAL. says that he both ran away and stole your son and sold him, to Theodoromedes the Polyplusian, in Elis, for six minae. In another exchange, a speaker labelled THEU. asks for the assistance of slaves and some scourges, and a speaker labelled SIM. says to take them by all means.
