The following people were all minor authors of Greek Middle Comedy. None of their works have survived intact, but later writers of Late Antiquity provide the titles of some of their plays as well as brief quotations. D. Diocles. The following six titles, along with associated fragments, are all that survives of Diocles' () work. The Suda states that some accounts claimed that Diocles invented a means of playing music by striking saucers and pottery vessels with a wooden stick. O. Ophelion. Kassel-Austin places Ophelion () in the Middle Comedy period. The Suda credits him with six  plays: "Callaeschrus", "Centaur", "Deucalion", "Muses", "Recluses", and "Satyrs". Athenaeus cites his work four times. S. Sophilus. The Suda claims that Sophilus () was from either Sicyon or Thebes. The following nine titles, along with associated fragments, are all that survives of Sophilus' work. Sotades of Athens. The Suda confuses this playwright with the iambic poet Sotades of Maroneia.

The following nine titles, along with associated fragments, are all that survives of Theophilus' () work . Timotheus of Athens.
