Comments from the Editor

Pandarus tells Deiphebus that someone is to have Criseyde’s possessions wrongfully. In this way, he aims to arrange a private meeting for Troilus and Criseyde at Deiphebus’s house. This meeting finds no counterpart in Fil. As to this scene, see also my comment of ‘cler’ (adj., Tr3.129).
