     Spectātōrēs, ad pudīcōs mōrēs facta haec fābula est,
     neque in hāc subigitātiōnēs sunt neque ūlla amātiō
     nec puerī suppositiō nec argentī circumductiō,
     neque ubi amāns adulēscēns scortum līberet clam suom patrem.

     Spectators, this play was made with regard to chaste mores:
     neither in it are erotic caresses nor any lovemaking,
     nor the substitution of a child, nor the swindling of money,
     nor where a loving youth frees a prostitute secretly from his father.
