The Rev. J. Hamilton on the Punic Passage in Plautus, 



The Latin Translation, arranged Word for Word with the Punic, after the manner of the 



Interlinear Version of Montanus.

* The collocation and construction of the Latin translation of this line, which the interlinear 

 arrangement somewhat disturbs, will be perceived by turning to the preceding page, line 3. It runs 

 thus — " Hospitio hie exceptus fui apud antidamantem mihi cum eo quia necessitudo fuit." 



It will be observed, that the emendations of the Punic text suggested, are only two, and that 

 they are such as do not alter the sense, the supplying in the second and third lines the suffix i. fre- 

 quently omitted in the Syriac dialect.
