FOOTNOTES:



[925] Lucius Fenestella, an historical writer, is mentioned by
Lactantius, Seneca, and Pliny, who says, that he died towards the close
of the reign of Tiberius.

[926] The second Punic war ended A.U.C. 552, and the third began A.U.C.
605. Terence was probably born about 560.

[927] Carthage was laid in ruins A.U.C. 606 or 607, six hundred and
sixty seven years after its foundation.

[928] These entertainments were given by the aediles M. Fulvius Nobilior
and M. Acilius Glabrio, A.U.C. 587.

[929] St. Jerom also states that Terence read the "Andria" to Caecilius
who was a comic poet at Rome; but it is clearly an anachronism, as he
died two years before this period. It is proposed, therefore, to amend
the text by substituting Acilius, the aedile; a correction recommended by
all the circumstances, and approved by Pitiscus and Ernesti.

[930] The "Hecyra," The Mother-in-law, is one of Terence's plays.

[931] The "Eunuch" was not brought out till five years after the Andria,
