Perikeiromene (Ancient Greek: Περικειρομένη, romanized: Perikeiroménē), translated as The Girl with her Hair Cut Short, is an Ancient Greek comedy by Menander (342/41 – 292/91 BC) that is only partially preserved on papyrus. Of an estimated total of between 1030 and 1091 lines, about 450 lines (between 40 and 45%) survive. Most acts lack their beginning and end, except that the transition between act I and II is still extant. The play may have been first performed in 314/13 BC or not much later.
