More frequent is the dimeter acatalectic, which has the scheme:--

⏔́ ⏑͐ ⏔̇ | ⏔́ ⏑ -̇

This is often compounded with a trochaic tripody catalectic: e.g.

Hóc ub(ī̆) Am|phítru(ō) erus # cṓnspi|cā́tus | ést (Pl. _Am._ 242),

and sometimes with a trochaic tripody acatalectic (e.g. Pl. _Ps._ 1248),

a trochaic dipody acatalectic (e.g. Pl. _Cap._ 214), or a _Thymelicus_

- ⏑ ⏑ ⏑ - (e.g. Pl. _Am._ 245). For other kinds of Cretic verses, see

special editions of the early dramatists.

[Erratum:

2697 ... Hóc ub(ī̆) Am|phítru(ō) erus # cṓnspi|cā́tus | ést

cṓnspi|cā́tus|ést]
