Biottus’ play came third after an unknown play by Paramonus and Criton’s Aitolos. A revival of Menander’s Phasma was performed at the same festival. The actor Damon was in Biottus’ play and in the winning play by Paramonus; see I.E. Stephanis, Dionysiakoi Technitai: Symboles stên prosôpographia tou theatrou kai tês mousikês tôn archaiôn Hellênôn (Heraklion: University of Crete, 1988), no. 582, and Ghiron-Bistagne, Recherches sur les acteurs dans la Grèce antique (Paris : Les Belles Lettres, 1976), p. 45.
