Talk:Sobersides

RFV discussion: July 2015
I found an English translation and a Wikipedia entry that give the name of a character in Plautus's Aulularia (not Bacchides) as "Sobersides", but no actual Latin texts. The only Google hits for the purported declension "Sobersidei" are scannos for sobersides. According to the versions of Aulalaria and Bacchides at the Latin Library, neither play has a character called Sobersides or anything resembling that. In general, I think a lot of the entries in Category:Latin male given names are dubious (was Periplectomenus actually a Latin name, or was it a silly pseudo-Greek word that Plautus invented for use in a play?), but this one seems outright wrong.

 * The only Google Books hits I see are of this as an English last name, presumably of teetotaller cousin. - -sche (discuss) 01:31, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
