English summary: Chariton's "Callirhoe" is the earliest complete Greek historical novel, composed sometime between 50 BCE and 50 CE, whose chief importance is in how it provides insights into the literary history and prose fiction of the late classical world of Rome. This commentary on Chariton's novel aims to present information relevant to both a philological discussion about text-critical problems and linguistic-stylistic peculiarities in order to analyze the novel according to its narratological perspective and to review its literary and historical contexts. To help accomplish such goals related to both the style and structure of the novel, this commentary offers cross-references for motifs and structural and linguistic parallels to later Greek novels, which help to show the importance that "Callirhoe" had for the development of the genre. The commentary begins with a short introduction to the daring authorship, language and style as well as the reception and transmission of the novel and finishes with a morphological commentary on books I-IV. German description: Chariton's 'Kallirhoe' ist der fruheste vollstandig uberlieferte griechische Liebesroman (ca. 50 v. Chr.-50 n. Chr.), dem fur das Verstandnis der Gattungsgeschichte des antiken Romans eine zentrale Bedeutung zukommt. Der vorliegende erste Kommentar zu Charitons Roman verfolgt neben der philologischen Diskussion von textkritischen Problemen und sprachlich-stilistischen Besonderheiten das Ziel, den Roman unter narratologischen Gesichtspunkten zu analysieren und seine literarischen und historischen Ko(n)texte zu besprechen. Zudem werden Querverweise auf motivische, strukturelle und sprachliche Parallelen zu spateren griechischen Romanen gegeben, um die Bedeutung des Textes fur die Romantradition herauszustellen. Der Kommentar beginnt mit einer kurzen Einleitung zu Datierung, Autorschaft, Sprache und Stil sowie der Rezeptions- und Uberlieferungsgeschichte des Romans; es folgt ein Lemmakommentar der Bucher I-IV.
