Colin Austin, Professor of Greek at Cambridge University 1998–2008, was one of the world’s foremost experts in the reconstruction and interpretation of Greek comedy. When he died in August 2010, he was working towards a new edition of Menander for the series Oxford Classical Texts, for which he had completed only the shorter pieces: Dis Exapaton, Encheiridion, Georgos, Heros, Karchedonios, Kitharistes, Koneiazomenai, Leukadia, Perinthia, Phasma and Theophoroumene. The present volume contains the papyri and book fragments of these eleven plays, edited by Colin Austin. It has been prepared for publication by Richard Hunter and Peter Parsons.
