From when Anaxandrides the com[ic poet won at Athens, 113 years, in the
archonship] of Kalleas (a. 377/6) at Athens
Citation Context The entry in the Marmor Parium doubtless records the first
victory of Anaxandrides, almost certainly at the City Dionysia. The precise
year in which he began competing is unknown, but this victory must have
fallen within the first half-dozen years or so of his competitive career. The
victory was followed by another the next year (test. 4).

Citation Context IG II2 2318, the so-called Fasti, provides an annual account
of the victors at the City Dionysia in the boys’ and mens’ choruses, tragedy
and comedy, together with the choregos for each; from ca. 450 BC the victori-
ous tragic actor is included as well. The list seems to have begun within a few
years of the beginning of the fifth century BC, apparently the date at which
the contests were institutionalized, and presumably ran until the abolition
of the choregia near the end of the fourth century BC; the extant portions
include discrete sections between 473/2 and 329/8 BC. The extant part of the
entry for 376/5 BC records that Anaxandrides was the victorious comic poet
that year and that his choregos was a certain [3-4]gnetos, who is not further
identifiable. Since test. 3 appears to attest that Anaxandrides’ first victory
(sc. at the City Dionysia) was in 377/6 BC, the victory recorded here was his
