Testimonia (test. 7)

chronologically in the order in which each competitor won his first victory;
the names are followed by the total victories of the individual at that festival.
Interpretation IGII2 2325.142 (= 2325E.37 Millis-Olson) records that Anaxan-
drides was victorious at the Lenaea three times; Philippus (with two victories)
and Choregus (with one victory) precede him in the list, while Philetaerus
(with two victories), Eubulus (with six victories), Ephippus (with one vic-
tory), Antiphanes (with eight victories), Mnesimachus (with one victory),
Nausicrates (with three victories), Euphanes, Alexis (with at least two vic-
tories), and Aristophon follow. The relevant portion of the list for the City
Dionysia is not extant, but Anaxandrides must have won seven times at that
festival, since he took the prize three times at the Lenaea and ten times in
total (test. 1).

[in the archonship of Polem]on (a. 312/1) with an old (comedy)

Citation Context Old’ comedies had been revived at the City Dionysia
since 340/39 BC (IG II2 2318.318-19 = 2318.1564-5 Millis-Olson); revivals of
tragedies had begun a generation or so earlier in 387/6 BC (IG II2 2318.202-3 -
2318.1010-11 Millis-Olson). In the so-called Didascaliae (IGII2 2319-2323a), an
account of all the competitors in the dramatic contests at the Lenaea and City
Dionysia each year, together with names of their plays and the protagonist
in each, each annual entry began with the name of the relevant archon and,
for the City Dionysia, information about that year’s revival. The entry here is
the earliest to survive and records that Anaxandrides’ Ihesauros was revived
in the archonship of Polemon (312/1 BC); the name of the protagonist is lost.
