Translation: Son of Phylarchides, of
Mallos,[1] tragic poet. This man was a member of the Pleiad,[2] and he also wrote, amongst other things,
Characters or
Comedy-lovers,[3] in which he describes the characters of the [comic] poets.[4]
"Apollonion [is] shorthand for temple of
Apollo."[5]
Διονυσιάδης, Φυλαρχίδου, Μαλλώτης, τραγικός. ἦν δὲ οὗτος τῶν τῆς Πλειάδος, καὶ γέγραπται αὐτῷ μεταξὺ ἄλλων καὶ Χαρακτῆρες ἢ Φιλοκώμῳδοι, ἐν ᾧ τοὺς χαρακτῆρας ἀπαγγέλλει τῶν ποιητῶν. ὅτι Ἀπολλώνιον βραχέως τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος.
Notes:
First half of C3 BC.
[1] In
Cilicia (southern Turkey); again at
mu 119.
[2] A "brilliant group of seven [Hellenistic] tragedians": R.Pfeiffer,
A History of Classical Scholarship (Oxford 1968) p.119. For other members see
alpha 1127,
lambda 827,
omicron 253,
sigma 860,
sigma 863,
tau 894,
phi 358.
[3] Perhaps, rather, in the singular:
Comedy-lover (so A.Meineke).
[4] Whatever its exact title(s) - see preceding note - this work "looks like the first effort to distinguish the style of the Attic comic poets and may have been the source of later treatises" (Pfeiffer op.cit p.160).
[5] Quoted from
alpha 3418 - but misplaced here, as it belongs, if anywhere, with
delta 1168.
