Production notes: 
We do not know the dates of Nichomachus of Alexandria Troas. Since the city Alexandria Troas was only founded after 301 BC (Strabo. 13, 593; 597), his tragedies must be placed after this date. The date range for performance given here is based on conjecture. One fragment of the Oedipus survives and it is mentioned in the list of Nichomachus' plays given in the Suda. We do not know where Nicomachus' plays were produced.
