APGRD Notes
An inscription records that a play named Heniochos came in fifth place; the name of the author is not preserved but is assumed to be Menander. See further, Poetae Comici Graeci ed. R. Kassel and C. Austin vol. VI, 2 (Berlin and New York: De Gruyter, 1998), p. 119. For the actor Callipides, see I.E. Stephanis, Dionysiakoi Technitai: Symboles stên prosôpographia tou theatrou kai tês mousikês tôn archaiôn Hellênôn (Heraklion: University of Crete, 1988), no. 1352 and P. Ghiron-Bistagne, Recherches sur les acteurs dans la Grèce antique (Paris : Les Belles Lettres, 1976), p. 40.
