Example Sentences
- "¹²⁰ On account of the mistake made in line 3 in the reference to the boar (Aetolicus instead of Erymanthius). Prescott (art. cit. (1932), p. 113, n. 7) and Tierney (art. cit., pp. 28f.), however, have both pointed out that similar lapsus memoriae are to be found among Greek Comic writers and therefore, passages containing such mistakes need not inevitably be attributed to the Roman adapter."
