mu 1464:
Myro.
[5] So the transmitted numeral, which equates to 124-121 BCE -- but wrongly. There is a standard emendation here to '124th', i.e. 284-281 BCE; cf.
omicron 253. Only Adler's textual conservatism inhibited her from printing it.
[6] A tragedy titled
Aethlios is known, as is a satyr play titled
Daphnis or
Lityersis (of which 21 lines are preserved). In a sepulchral epigram
Dioscorides (
Greek Anthology 7.707) praises
Sositheus for rejuvenating satyric drama.
