Notes
- Diogenes Laertius 8.58 cites authorities (i) for a different number -- 43 -- of these tragedies and more importantly (ii) for an ancient academic dispute as to their authorship; the majority view was that "the former" (in fact placed second here in the Suda: epsilon 1002, epsilon 1003, epsilon 1004) had written them himself.
