APGRD Notes
An inscription from the Athenian Agora records a revival of Menander’s play with which Dioscurides came second. First prize was won by the actor Callias with Diphilus’ Misanthropoi (the name of this latter play has been restored). The exact date of the performance, in the archonship of Alcibiades, is unclear. For actor see I.E. Stephanis, Dionysiakoi Technitai: Symboles stên prosôpographia tou theatrou kai tês mousikês tôn archaiôn Hellênôn (Heraklion: University of Crete, 1988), no. 773 and P. Ghiron-Bistagne, Recherches sur les acteurs dans la Grèce antique (Paris : Les Belles Lettres, 1976), p.321.
