[1906] Sarcinator. Plaut., Aul., III., v., 41. Cento, "a patchwork coverlet." Juv., vi., 121. Vid. Fest in voc. "prohibere." The phrase centones sarcire also means, "to impose upon a person by falsehoods." Cf. Plaut., Epid., III., iv., 19, "Quin tu alium quæras quoi centones sarcias."
[1907] The emendations of this Fragment are endless. The reading of the text is approved by Merula and Gerlach.
[1908] Statura. Cf. Cic., Phil., ii., 16, "Velim mihi docas, L, Turselius, qua facie fuit, quâ staturâ."
[1909] Fulmenta, "any prop or support." Hence "a bed-post." Whence the proverb, "Fulmenta lectum scandunt." Plautus also uses it for the "heel of a shoe," "fulmentas jubeam suppingi soccis?" Trin., III., ii., 94, seq. Lib. iv., Fr. 19.
[1910] Lutum for "lutulentum."
[1911] Gerlach thinks Hymnis, here and in lib. xxvii., Fr. 43, may be a proper name.
[1912] Hic corpus. "Verba conciliatricis Lenæ." Dusa. (Cf. Arist., Acharn., 1199).
[1913] Given up even by Gerlach.
[1914] Destinet. Cf. Plaut., Rud., Prol., 45, "Amare occœpit, ad lenonem devenit minis triginta sibi puellam destinat." Pers., IV., iii., 80. Mart., III., i., 109; IV., iii., 35. Destinare is properly "to set one's mind upon a thing." So obstinare. Plaut., Aul., II., ii., 89.
