Translation

Athenian, tragedian, began competing in the 64th Olympiad;¹ and he staged 160 plays, and won with 13. This man, according to some, experimented with the masks and the stage(?) of the costumes.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Χοιρίλος, Ἀθηναῖος, τραγικός, ξδʹ ὀλυμπιάδι καθεὶς εἰς ἀγῶνας· καὶ ἐδίδαξε μὲν δράματα ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν, ἐνίκησε δὲ ιγʹ. οὗτος κατά τινας τοῖς προσωπείοις καὶ τῇ σκηνῇ τῶν στολῶν ἐπεχείρησεν.
