APGRD Notes
An inscription from the Didascalic monument records that Simylus won first prize, the actor was Aristomachus. Diodorus came second with Nekros (The Corpse) and third with Mainomenos (The Madman); Phoenicides came fourth with The Poet. For actor, see P. Ghiron-Bistagne, Recherches sur les acteurs dans la Grèce antique (Paris : Les Belles Lettres, 1976), p. 32 and I.E. Stephanis, Dionysiakoi Technitai: Symboles stên prosôpographia tou theatrou kai tês mousikês tôn archaiôn Hellênôn (Heraklion: University of Crete, 1988), no. 355.
