'The Commentary is of a very high quality. In addition to ensuring that matters of dramaturgy are constantly and fully dealt with, changes of scene or act being notably well handled (there is a good example at [IV.i], lines 625–83) G. is alive to every nuance of Terence's Latinity and style … Any student who is called upon to work on this play will assuredly find all (s)he needs in this outstanding and authoritative edition.'
