     Fabula generale nomen est: eius duae primae partes, tragoedia et comoedia. <Tragoedia>, si Latina argumentatio sit, praetexta dicitur. Comoedia autem multas species habet: aut enim palliata est aut togata aut tabernaria aut Atellana aut mimus aut Rinthonica aut planipedia. […] Comoediarum formae sunt tres: palliatae Graecum habitum referentes, togatae iuxta formam personarum habitum togarum desiderantes, quas nonnulli tabernarias uocant, Atellanae salibus et iocis compositae, quae in se non habent nisi uetustatum elegantias.
