aps the +Pe:ra+, of Diphilus; the _Stichus_, in
part, from the +Adelphoi a'+ of Menander. Menander's +Dis exapato:n+
was probably the source of the _Bacchides_, while the _Aulularia_
and _Cistellaria_ probably were adapted from other plays (titles
unknown) by Menander. The _Mercator_ and _Trinummus_ are adaptations
of Philemon's +Emporos+ and +The:sauros+, the _Mostellaria_ very
possibly is an adaptation of his +Phasma+, the _Amphitruo_, perhaps,
an adaptation of his +Nyx makra+.]

[Footnote 16: It seemed best to make no exceptions to this rule;
even such a line as Bacchides 107 is therefore omitted. Cf. Lindsay,
_Classical Quarterly_, 1913, pp. 1, 2, Havet, _Classical Quarterly_,
1913, pp. 120, 121.]
