Therapontigonus Platagidorus themiles gloriosus and Phaedromus the adulescens amans, rivals for the purchase of the uirgo intacta Planesium (enslaved to the leno Cappadox), are having their first encounter with one another; Phaedromus’ parasitus Curculio is present, as well. The line assignments for this excerpt from the scene have been contested, as have both the meaning of the verb antestari (621, 623) and the syntactical role of the accusatives associated with the verb. I propose here a solution to the matter that takes into account the plainest meaning of an accusative construed with licet, the stagecraft of the scene, and intratextual connections to moments earlier and later in the play. Phaedromus must be the speaker of the first line and a quarter, which includes the Roman legal formula to summon someone to court (ambula in ius, 621). The line must be shouted at Therapontigonus, who has attempted to purchase Planesium, recently discovered to be a freeborn citizen. The soldier responds with a refusal (non eo). Phaedromus then asks someone to serve as a witness for his summons of Therapontigonus (licet te antestari?). So much is clear; the remainder is not.

Antestari：Curculio 620-625 中的程序法

Therapontigonus Platagidorus themiles gloriosus 和 Phaedromus the adulescens amans 是购买 uirgo integera Planesium（奴役于 leno Cappadox）的竞争对手，他们第一次相遇；Phaedromus 的寄生虫 Curculio 也存在。这个场景摘录的行分配存在争议，动词 antestari (621, 623) 的含义和与动词相关的宾格的句法作用也存在争议。我在这里提出了一个解决方案，该解决方案考虑到用 licet 解释的宾格的最简单含义、场景的舞台技巧以及与剧中前后时刻的文本内联系。Phaedromus 必须是第一行和四分之一的发言人，其中包括将某人传唤到法庭的罗马法律公式（ambula in ius，621）。这条线必须向 Therapontigonus 大喊大叫，他试图购买 Planesium，最近被发现是一个自由出生的公民。士兵以拒绝（非 eo）作为回应。Phaedromus 然后要求某人作为他传唤 Therapontigonus (licet te antestari?) 的证人。就这么清楚了；其余的不是。
