The purpose of this article is to discuss and reevaluate the nature of the fragment of a dramatic dialogue preserved by P. Oxy. XXVI 2746 (TrGF adesp. 649), in which Cassandra describes to Priam, Deiphobus and a chorus the duel between Hektor and Achilles. It aims to call attention to some features of the text which may be considered firm evidence that this is a fragment of a play specially designed for theatrical performance. It also discusses again the thorny problems that have arisen on account of the unusual layout of the manuscript.
