Notes:
Old Comedy (mid fifth century BCE); see generally K.J. Dover in OCD(4) s.v.
Crates(1).
[1] Not otherwise known. Perhaps a mistake for the comic poet of that name. See G. Kaibel 'Epilykos (3)' in
RE 6,1 cols.158-159.
[2] The titles of only six plays are given; Jungermann proposed adding
Tolmai. But the Greek signs for the numerals six and seven were easily confused by a copyist.
[3] Perhaps the play by Kallias, and so wrongly attributed here. See Korte col.1624 ;
The Rivals of Aristophanes p. 513.
