Periplectomenus, a character of problematic classification on which the thesis of contaminatio by Miles is based, has traditionally been related to senes lepidi. A comparative study shows that this character does not belong to this group and the features that make him differ bring him close to the parasite-sodalis opitulator. The aristeia provides the clues to interpret him: two dramatic lines converge on him, the one is reality, the other is pretensions, coinciding his features with the ones of the ὀψιμαθής described by Theophrastus in Characters. His complexity is the reason of his bad luck.
