Not illustrated. 1919 Excerpt: ...which we are accustomed in Modern Comic Operas and in Old Indian (Sanskrit) plays under the name of the vidusakah or jester, the confidant and dependant of the hero, who is of the same social status as the hero himself. His part was to provide fun, which he did generally unconsciously by his fondness for food. The dative Peniculo is in agreement with mihi and need not be regarded as 'attraction.' It is the normal and natural construction; cf. w. 262, 1126; Trin. 843 Huic ego die nomen Trinummo facio; Rudens, prol. 5; et passim. 81. nimis, 'very.'
