After providing an overview of the spreading of Greek theater in Ptolemaic Egypt, the paper conducts a critical analysis of the papyrological evidence pertaining to Old Comedy and datable to the Hellenistic period. The analysis involves the examination of fragments that have been considered to belong to Old Comedy, sourced from both anthologies (P.Berol. inv. 9772, P.Schub. 28) and potential copies of the dramatic text (P.Duk. inv. 313 R, P.Heid. I 182, P.Strasb. inv. gr. 2345 R, P.CtYBR inv. 5019, P.Lond.Lit. 254).

Abstract
After providing an overview of the spreading of Greek theater in Ptolemaic Egypt, the paper conducts a critical analysis of the papyrological evidence pertaining to Old Comedy and datable to the Hellenistic period. The analysis involves the examination of fragments that have been considered to belong to Old Comedy, sourced from both anthologies (P.Berol. inv. 9772, P.Schub. 28) and potential copies of the dramatic text (P.Duk. inv. 313 R, P.Heid. I 182, P.Strasb. inv. gr. 2345 R, P.CtYBR inv. 5019, P.Lond.Lit. 254).
