I shall argue elsewhere that this derives from a discussion of the sources of verbal humour in the lost account of \r\ncomedy and humour. Here it is my aim to show that Simplicius definitely derived the quotation from Porphyry, which pushes back the attestation of this part of the Poetics by more than two centuries (although the citation in the Antiatticist, Poet. fr. 4 Kassel, is older still). Furthermore, I shall show that some of the words in the \r\ndefinition are a gloss added by Porphyry for the purposes of his own polemic.
