Examples

“Fabula generale nomen est: eius duae primae partes, tragoedia et comoedia. , si Latina argumentatio sit, praetexta dicitur. Comoedia autem multas species habet: aut enim palliata est aut togata aut tabernaria aut Atellana aut mimus aut Rinthonica aut planipedia. […] Comoediarum formae sunt tres: palliatae Graecum habitum referentes, togatae iuxta formam personarum habitum togarum desiderantes, quas nonnulli tabernarias uocant, Atellanae salibus et iocis compositae, quae in se non habent nisi uetustatum elegantias.”

“Togatae fabulae dicuntur quae scriptae sunt secundum ritus et habitum hominum togatorum, id est Romanorum (toga namque Romana est), sicut Graecas fabulas ab habitu aeque palliatas Varro ait nominari.”
