(Bousiris is also the title of lost plays by Euripides (satyr-play), Antiphanes, Cratinus, Cratippus and Ephippus; and cf. lambda 649 and pi 637 for Isocrates' rhetorical work of that name.) Mnesimachus' four other attested titles are Alkmaion (Diogenes Laertius 8.37), Isthmia-victor (Aelian, On the nature of animals 13.4), Apothecary (scholia to Aristophanes, Birds), and Europe (scholia to Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica).
