The Survival of Menander

Hugh Kenner, The Pound Era (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1971), p. 51, discussing papyrus fragments:
All the Menander we have is from such sources, all the Herodas, half the Sappho, most of the Archilochos...
A considerable portion of Menander survives not in papyrus fragments but in quotations by other ancient authors: see Poetae Comici Graeci, edd. R. Kassel and C. Austin, Vol. VI 2: Menander: Testimonia et Fragmenta apud Scriptores Servata (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1998), a volume of xxxi + 437 pages.
