appears in the Latin MSS. as Hellenicus, Hellanicus, Ellanicus ; 

 in Italian, Ellanicho ; in Heinrich, Elanicus ; in the ificunabulum 

 and the Gesta, Elamicus ; in Steinhowel, Elemitus ; in Bohe- 

 mian, Klavik ; but in Polish and Russian, Elavik j in Timoneda, 

 Heliato ; in the Swedish, Elancius; in French, Heliquain; in 

 Gower, Helican ; in Twine, Elinatus. 



Cleon is the name which Shakespeare gives Stranguilio, as he is 

 called in Gower and Twine and the Gesta and most of the MSS., 

 though he becomes Stragul in Bohemian ; Stragwilio in the Munich 

 codex; Estrangilo in Spanish; Tranquilio in Godfrey; Tranquyle 

 in Copland, and Transqualeon in French. His wife is named 

 Dionyza ; in Latin, Dionysias ; Dionysiades in Steinhowel, Twine, 

 Heinrich and Bohemian ; Deoiiise in French, and Dionise in Gower. 

 In Shakespeare the servant of Cerimon is named Fhile7?wn, nearly 

 as in Heinrich, Philomimis, and in Bohemian Silemon. In Twine 

 he is called Machaon ; in Swiss Pandekta. 



Boulf is called in some MSS. Amiantiis ; in Heinrich, Turpian ; 



in Greek, Ilio/.ap6-a) in Italian, Focaroba (Singer conjectures that 

 Boult or Bolt is used euphemistically for penis'). 



Leonine is Shakespeare's name for the servant of Dionyza; he is 



called Theophilics in most versions, while Leonine is the name of 



the keeper of the brothel in Gower, 



Shakespeare departs widely from the Historia in the names 



of the dramatis personcB. In the play Athenagoras becomes Lysima- 



chus ; Archistrates becomes Simonides ; Hellenicus becomes Heli- 



canus ; Tharsia becomes Marina ; Stranguillio becomes King 



Cleon ; Apollonius becomes Pericles. 



Dionyza takes under Shakespeare's hand almost the demoniac 



character of Lady Macbeth. Boult is not new to the story, but is 



remade. Shakespeare takes Gower' s form of a name wherever it 



differs from the name in Twine.
