The Fragments on Lydian Maidens are seven short quotations of Attic κωμῳδία under the name Autocrates, fifth or fourth century BCE. The name Autocrates is the heading.
The English title is later. The lines name Lydian women, a Lydian chariot-builder, a Lydian stone. No complete play survives.
The verses are quotation in Hesychius of Alexandria and in Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae. They are Greek κωμῳδία in this corpus, not a later type-book.
