P. Terentij Afri comici Andria, omni interpretationis genere, in adolescentulorum gratiam facilior effecta : Ut ex hac comoedia, omnes deinde alias ab eodem comico conscriptas, nullo negotio adsequantur iuuenes bonarum literarum studiosi. Addita est constructionis ratio, tum uulgaris, tume etia[m] Latina; Item scholia, quae selectiorum uocabulorum uim, & bene latinarum locutionum formulas contineant: cum Ciceronis, & bonorum authorum sermone conferant: corruptam ac uitiatam loquedi consuetudinem emendent. Cum privilegio.
