Scene the Tenth.
Pag. 111. l. 10, &c. My poor Girl's fallen into th' Ene∣mies Hands; and I can hear no Tale or Tidings of her.] Here the Poet gives a very good reason for Philippa's coming to Athens; so that this Incident is no ways forc'd or unnatural. What is remarkable still, is, that tho' her Daughter had been fallen into the Enemies Hands a considerable time; yet she, coming from Thebes, cou'd not arrive before this Time, because the Peace was but just now concluded on and ratified. For more of the Preparations of this Interview, see the first Re∣mark in the second Act.
descriptionPage 143
Pag. 113. l. 24. Bid my Daughter Thelestis come out.] Iube Acropolistidem prodire filiam ante aedis meam. This Passage is undoubtedly false in all the Editions of this Author, and instead of Acropolistidem, it ought to be Thelestidem; for tho' her name was really Acropolistis, yet Pèriphanes took her for his Daughter Thelestis. I suppose it was alter'd by some Person not well acquain∣ed with the Plot.
