APGRD Notes
Juba, king of Mauretania, is said to have written an epigram about the tragic actor Leonteus in response to his poor performance of Hypsipyle (it is assumed that Euripides' Hypsipyle is being referred to here). The evidence for this performance is anecdotal. The date range is based on the dates of Juba's rule of Mauretania.
