Doric spoken by Athenians in Aristophanes

In Lysistrata, line 105-6 is spoken by the Athenian woman Lampito but contains many Dorisms like γα, ἔλσῃ, and ποκά:

ὁ δ᾽ ἐμός γα καἴ κ᾽ ἐκ τᾶς ταγᾶς ἔλσῃ ποκά, πορπακισάμενος φροῦδος ἀμπτάμενος ἔβα.

What would be the reason for this? It’s not as though these women are a part of the chorus, as far as I know.

Inscription identification?

I was recently given some photos by a fan of mine who was traveling through Adiyaman Turkey of a large Greek inscription and a stele. Was wondering if this was already catalogued in any database?

Was wondering what works we DO have from classical grammarians, and if there’s a list of what works DO survive? Loeb doesn’t really have anything like that.
