Greg doesn't add anything beyond noting that "paradox" was altered from "peth", which appears to have been a false start for "pythagoras". But ''Pythagoras'' was itself played as "ne" on 16 January 1595, and had already received 5 performances by the time ''Paradox'' was entered as "ne" on 1 July 1596, including as recently as 15 June 1596.

But Pythagoras was itself played as "ne" on 16 January 1595, and had already received 5 performances by the time Paradox was entered as "ne" on 1 July 1596, including as recently as 15 June 1596.
