"Lindsay, Anc. Edd,, p. 44. Digitized by Google POENULUa 67 10J^2 ff. This passage has long been considered one of the most certain examples of retractatio in Plautus, but scholars are by no means agreed as to the extent of the dittographjr. There are two inquiries about Agor- astocles (1042-1043; 1044), each introduced by an ad- versative particle {yerum, sed)^ and two presentations of the hospitalis tessera (1047-1049; 1062). The saluta- tion in U. 1050-1051 is concerned with the identity of ...Agorastocles as adopted son of Antidama, Hanno's ances- tral guest-friend (cf. U. 1042-1043), and the tessera (1. 1052) is brought in almost as an afterthought. Seyffert^s ^^ solution of the difficulty is on the whole the most satisfactory. He finds two parallel versions: (1) 11. 1042-1043, followed by a reply of Agorastocles, similar to that in 1. 1046, and then by 11. 1060-1053 ; (2) 11. 1044-1049, followed by 1. 1063. Each version begins with an inquiry about Agorastocles and a dis- closure of the young man's identity; but in the first the recognition rests upon a simple statement, in the second there is a careful examination of the tessera.
