>‘Periplectomenus, explains in a comedy of Platus (Miles 692-4), why he is inclined not to marry. Women are too expensive; they will ask “for money on the 19th of the month to pay the woman who utters incantations (praecantrix), the woman who interprets dreams (coniectrix), the inspired prophetess (haricola), and the woman who divines from entrails (haruspica).” And, he adds, women would not send away the one who observes the sky (qua supercilio spicit) without fiving her anything.’
