TM Gallery info The Comoedia Dukiana (TM 59240) is an early Ptolemaic papyrus with a substantial extract from an early Hellenistic Greek comedy, including a final scene with the preparation of a giant fish for dinner. Possible authors are Archippus or Kratinos Jr. The manuscript is a palimpsest: a previous documentary text was washed out before writing the comedy, and the verso contains an account. It is currently held in the Duke University Special Collections Library.
