Excerpt from Phormio: With Notes and Introductions Intended for the Higher Forms of Public Schools
This Play, like its three predecessors in the same series, has been carefully expurgated for use in Schools.
It is hoped that the stage directions, Which have been mainly suggested by practical experience at Westminster, may be of real service. As my Opportunities of studying this aspect of the Play were unique, I have endeavoured to make this part of the edition as complete as possible.

Excerpt from Phormio: With Notes and Introductions Intended for the Higher Forms of Public Schools
In the text of this edition the Mss. have been followed rather than the emendations of editors, unless there seemed to be weighty reasons to the contrary. In places, however, where A is certainly corrupt, the testimony of Donatus or other Scholiasts as to readings earlier than those in the Calliopian Mss. has been sometimes accepted, when supported by intrinsic probability. In all but a few cases the limits of space have precluded a full statement of the arguments for and against doubtful readings, but in no instance has a decision been made without careful consideration of all sides of the question.
In a School edition it has been thought better to print the letter v, and to adopt the modernised spelling of the Mss., except where the orthography in Terence's time was demonstrably different: e.g. o is substituted for u after another u or v quor, quoins quoi, etc., appear for cur , cuius, cui, etc., and -is for -es in the accusative plural of such words of the third declension as form the genitive plural in -ium.
As regards the spelling of verbs or adjectives compounded with prepositions no rigid uniformity has been observed, because none existed in the republican period. Assimilation took place in the commoner words, and in certain combinations of letters (e.g. m and p), much earlier than in others. Accordingly conraditur is read, but comparatum (40-1), and so on. In this respect the text follows that of Fleckeisen.
This Play, like its three predecessors in the same series, has been carefully expurgated for use in Schools.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a play by Roman playwright Terence, first performed in 161 BC. It follows a story of mistaken identity and trickery, as a parasite named Phormio helps a young man marry a penniless girl by tricking her guardian into believing he is her relative and thus legally responsible for her. The play combines stock characters from New Greek Comedy with sharp dialogue and a humorous plot to explore themes of love, family, and the law. Its insights into human nature and the complexities of social relationships remain relevant today and have made it a classic of Latin literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
