Note:
[1] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 67, where the archon-year of Euthymenes is mentioned. "One would like to know much more about the terms and effects of this measure, and not least who was supposed to be protected by it" (E.W. Handley in Cambridge History of Classical Literature: Greek Drama, 123). Compare ps.-Xenophon, Athenaion Politeia (the "Old Oligarch") 2.18: 'they do not allow comic attacks and abuse directed against the People;' but this sounds more general.
