^{page 297 note 3} Trencsényi-Waldapfel, I., in Athenaeum xlii (1964), 49–51,Google Scholar is an exception: he takes ‘Nanneianus’ as referring to Nannion, a common name for helaerae in Greek comedy, and makes Crassus ‘il personaggio calvo della commedia di Nannion’ (p. 50). This is better than Manutius, but still very tenuous, despite the superficial relevance of Eubulus fr. 67 E to Clodius' nocturnal adventure.
