in the texts
The Second Tetralogy
Those who stood safely apart from the javelins' flight path during practice, repeatedly contrasted with the boy who moved into danger, used by both sides to argue about who bears responsibility for the fatal accident.
To the spectators or the masters in charge—whom no one accuses at all?
The lad is therefore accused without just cause, as he did not strike anyone standing clear of the target.
And this is clear proof that it was through his own error that he met with a disaster which those who stood still did not.
Amphitruo
The theatre audience directly addressed by Mercury in the prologue; subject to Jupiter's commands about fair behavior during the performance.
MERCURY:
Attend, it will be worth the while of you spectators, for Jupiter and Mercury to perform here the actors’ part.
Jupiter has commanded the law to be the same as if he had sought by solicitation an appointment for himself or for another.
