*niko/stratos
Adler number: nu,405
Translated headword: Nikostratos, Nicostratus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Comic poet.
Athenaeus in [book] 2 of
Deipnosophists mentions him: he says that his plays are
Pandaros (also called
Antyllos, and also apparently by
Philetaerus),[1]
Hierophant and
Kleine; plus
Habra and
Hesiod and
Diabolos and
Anterosa and
Hekate,
Mageiros,
Otes,[2]
Ploutos,
Syros,
Apelaunomenos,
Pseudistigmatias and
Tokistes. These I found (?)lying on deposit.
And [there is] a proverb: "me, I will do everything
Nicostratus' way." This man was an actor in comedies, who seemed to play his parts to perfection.[3]

Notes:
See
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 2.65D [2.71 Kaibel], 3.108C [3.71], 3.110A [3.74], 3.111C [3.76], 4.133C [4.10], 6.247E [6.52], 7.301B [7.60], 11.474B [11.48], 11.487B [11.73], 11.499B [11.100], 12.517A [12.12], 14.615F [14.5], 14.664B [14.85], 15.685C [15.33], 15.685E [15.33]. However, there were at least two comic poets of this name, one in Middle Comedy and one in New (see OCD4 s.v. nos.1 and 2; Kassel-Austin, PCG 7.74-92 and 93, and cf. 94 for [Ni]kostratos III); though no.1 is probably meant, he may have been credited with some of no.2's titles.

phi 308.
[2] Adler reports that mss GM have
Otis (
Bustard). Bernhardy drew attention to
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 15,700B [15.59 Kaibel], which quotes from a play by N. called
Patriotai (
Fellow-Countrymen).

epsilon 155.
