Citation Context The inscription is one of the few extant fragments of what
must have been an extraordinarily large document giving the agonistic history
of the Greek comic poets; it was erected in Rome, where it may have decorated
the walls of one of the Imperial libraries. Other poets listed on the surviving
fragments include Callias, Lysippus, Telecleides and Xenophilus.
Interpretation The fragment detailing the career of Anaxandrides is the larg-
est fragment to survive. Like the other fragments, it lists the poet’s victories
at the City Dionysia followed by his victories at the Lenaea, then his second
place finishes at each festival, then his third, and so forth. Each entry records
the name of the relevant archon and the name of the play; in one instance
(IGUR 218.9), a producer (for an unknown play) appears to be included. The
names or partial names of twelve comedies by Anaxandrides survive; the
document includes titles not attested elsewhere and is the only source that
offers a precise date for any of Anaxandrides’ comedies.
