Excerpt from The New Comedy
If, within this essay itself, there does not appear to be enough justification for grouping the Middle and the New Comedies under one head, its value is half de stroyed. Yet it is worth recording that the distinction, as held until recently, is not mentioned by any one before the age of Hadrian. For, besides the anony mous authorities quoted in the essay, the Middle Comedy is unknown to the earlier Alexandrians, to Quintilian, to Velleius, to Harpocratio, to Dorotheas Ascalonita, to Plutarch, and to the Roman gram marians who lived before the death of Trajan.
