Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Then her uncle Pandarus, exactly as he ought to do, with such women as were closest to her, very gladly escorted her to her bedside, and took his leave, bowing very low, and said: ‘All your women will be sleeping outside this chamber door here, directly opposite, so that you can call whichever one of them you want.’
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それから彼女の叔父パンダルスは、まるで当たり前のように、彼女にじきじきにそばに仕える女たちとともに、大喜びで彼女を彼女のベッドのそばに案内して、深々とお辞儀をしながら、いとまごいをするために、言った。「ここ、この部屋の外の、真向かいに、お前の待女たちが皆寝るので、お前は来てもらいたいと思う者を、ここで呼べばいいよ。」
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 舅父措置得宜，带着她日常身边的侍女们，很高兴地送她到床前，向她请了晚安，深深鞠躬说道，“在这房间的门外，过去不远，你的女侍们都睡在那里，你愿呼唤哪一个，只要一喊就应。”
