APGRD Notes
Criton’s Aitolos came second after an unknown play by Paramonus. The other newly composed comedy was Biottos’ Poet. A revival of Menander’s Phasma was performed at the same festival. The actor Monimus played in both Criton’s play and the revival of the Phasma. For Monimus, see Ghiron-Bistagne, Recherches sur les acteurs dans la Grèce antique (Paris : Les Belles Lettres, 1976), p. 45, and I.E. Stephanis, Dionysiakoi Technitai: Symboles stên prosôpographia tou theatrou kai tês mousikês tôn archaiôn Hellênôn (Heraklion: University of Crete, 1988), no. 1740.
