Production notes: 
The winning play was Philonides’ Proagon, Aristophanes’ Wasps came second. Leukon’s Presbeis came third. It has been suggested that this play was written by Aristophanes and produced in Philonides’ name to enable Aristophanes to present two plays at the same festival. For this play see Poetae Comici Graeci ed. R. Kassel and C. Austin vol. VII (Berlin and New York: De Gruyter, 1989), p. 366, and Poetae Comici Graeci ed. R. Kassel and C. Austin vol. III, 2 (Berlin and New York: De Gruyter, 1984), p. 235.
