Following volume VI.2, which compiled witnesses to Menanders life, work, and impact and contained fragments preserved by the authors citing them and a number of papyrus fragments that cannot be attributed to any author, volume VI.1 presents the almost completely preserved Dyskolos and other shorter and longer pieces that have survived on ancient papyrus and parchment. It also includes a testimonial apparatus and a detailed critical apparatus.
