[NOTE 209.]
Simo.—Why do you not immediately give orders for her removal to our house?

Grecian women, in the situation in which Glycera is represented to have been, were usually well enough to go abroad in a litter in one day’s time. This topic is introduced by the poet, in order that Davus may be spoken of, and delivered from confinement; because his remaining in prison would have been contrary to the rules of comedy.

[NOTE 210.]
Simo.—Because he is now carrying on things of great weight, and which touch him more nearly.

——Quia habet aliud magis ex sese et majus.

There is a pun in the original, which I have attempted to preserve in the translation by a circumlocution which I trust on such an occasion will be deemed allowable. The critics remark, that Terence, by Simo’s pleasantry, (vide [Note 211],) intended to shew that he was thoroughly reconciled to his son. (Vide [Note 92].)

[NOTE 211.]

Simo.—He is chained.
Pam.—Ah! dear Sir, that was not well done.
Simo.—I am sure I ordered it to be well done.
