Notes (1)
- C4 BCE; W.G. Arnott in OCD4 s.v.; PCG 7.16-26.
- 1e.g. 7.329D [7.138 Kaibel], 10.417E [10.11], 8.338B [8.19]. (Bousiris is also the title of lost plays by Euripides (satyr-play), Antiphanes, Cratinus, Cratippus and Ephippus; and cf. lambda 649 and pi 637 for Isocrates' rhetorical work of that name.) Mnesimachus' four other attested titles are Alkmaion (Diogenes Laertius 8.37), Isthmia-victor (Aelian, On the nature of animals 13.4), Apothecary (scholia to Aristophanes, Birds), and Europe (scholia to Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica). ↩
