Text Appearing After Image: [..] For the reasons mentioned under the articles Baxa and Crepida the Soccus was worn by comic actors (Hor. Ars Pott. 80, 90), and was inthis respect opposed to the Cothurnus. (Mart,viii. 3.13 ; Y\m.Epist. ix. 7.) The preceding wood-cut is taken from an ancient painting of a buffoon [Mimus], who is dancing in loose yellow slippers{luteum soccum, Catull. Epitlial. Jul. 10). This was one of their most common colours. (De LAul-naye, Salt. Theat. pi. iv.) [Solea.] [J. Y.] [...] Text edited. OCR manually cleaned up and text relating to adjacent items removed by User:PKM .
