¹ i sis is an emendation, but hardly open to doubt. Elsewhere in Plautus these phrases made up of i (i nunc or the like) with another imperative following seem to occur most often towards the close of a speaker's remark (see Lodge, , Lex. Plaut., p. 503Google Scholar); in the two passages I have noticed, the addition of sis (or obsecro) may, I suspect, be a way of under-lining the urgency of the command and not, as suggested in this edition, a ‘polite parenthetical formula’.
