Notes:
Krates was a writer of the Old Comedy who flourished in the mid fifth century BCE.
[1] Not otherwise known. Perhaps a mistake for the comic poet of that name. See G. Kaibel 'Epilykos (3)' in
RE 6,1 cols.158-159.
[2] The titles of six plays only are given. The Greek signs for the numerals six and seven are easily confused by a copyist.
[3] Perhaps the play by Kallias, and so wrongly attributed here. See Korte col.1624 ;
The Rivals of Aristophanes p. 513.
