APGRD Notes
Demosthenes alludes to the possible performance of this play in his speech 'On the Crown'. There is little to securely tie an actual performance of the play to this date, though the speech at least demonstrates that it was possible in 330 BC to imagine such a performance taking place in Attica. The date here follows TrGF1 Did., p.18.
