Notes:
C5 BCE. See generally TrGF vol 1 (edn.2, 1986) 132-5; OCD(4) s.v.
[1] See generally
sigma 815.
[2] For the younger
Sophocles, son of this Ariston, see
sigma 816.
[3] The fact that six of these seven titles are attributed to the Athenian tragedian "Kleophon" at
kappa 1730 seems enough to expose the latter name as a corruption: see the note there.
[4] The suspicion that
Sophocles had substantially written the plays of
Iophon goes back to the late C5 itself: see
Aristophanes,
Frogs 73-79.
