 the stage in company with Glycera, he delights in his 

 daughter readily accepting the surrendering enemy, just at 

 the moment she herself has had the good fortune to refind 

 her parents; he does not want her to persist in her resent-

 difficult to make the corresponding Greek words agree with the 

 characters given by the editors. Perhaps 7tofr[ovvra ye referring
