DEMOSTHENES. (I^p. ad Avim. . 4) makes the second the first, and the third the second in the series ; and this order has been defended by R. Rauchenstein, de Orat. Olynth. ordine^ I^ipz. 1821, which is re- printed in vol. i. of Schaefer's Apparatus. The other order is defended by Becker, in his German translation of the Philippics, i. p. 103, &c., and by Westennann, Sfiive, Zieniann, Petrenz, and Briick- ner. in separate dissertations. There is a good edition of the Olynthiac orations, with notes, by C. H. Frotscher and C. H. Funkhanel, Leipzig, 1834, 8vo. .5. The oration on the Peace, delivered in B. c. 34t). Respecting the question as to whether this oration was actually delivered or not, see Becker, Philijypisclie Reden^ i. p. 222, &c., and VomeL, Frolepom. ad Orat. de Face, p. 240, &c. 6. The second Philippic, delivered in B. c. 344. See Vdmel, hiiegram esse Dcviosth. Philip.

On Halonesus, b. c. 343, was suspected by tl)e ancients themselves, and ascribed to Hegesippns. (Liban. Arqum. p. 75 ; Harpocrat. and Etym. M. .«. r. ; Vhot. Bibl. p. 491.) Weiske endeavoured to vindicate the oration for Demosthenes in Dis- sertatio super Orat. de Halm., Lubben. 1808, but he is opposed by Becker in Seebode^s Archiv. for 182.5, i. "p. 84, &c., Philippische Reden, ii. p. 301, iVc, and by Vbmel in O.itenditur Hegesippi esse ora- tinnem de Haloneso, Frankf. 1830, who published a separate edition of this oration under the name of Hegesippus in 1833. 8.

Orat. de Coron., Monasterii, 1829. The genuineness of the docu- ments quoted in this oration has of late been the subject of much discussion, and the most important among the treatises on this question are those of Droysen ( Ueber die Aechtheil der Urkund. in De- mosth. Rede vom Kranz, in the Zeitschri/i fur die Alterthums7c. for 1839, and reprinted separately at Berlin, 1839), and F. W. Newman {Classical Museum, vol. i. pp. 141 — 169), both of whom deny the genuineness, while Vcimel in a series of programs (commenced in 1841) endeavours to prove their authenticity. Comp. A. F. Wolper, de Forma liodiema Orat. Demoslh. de Coron. Leipzig, 1 825 ; L. C. A. Briegleb, Comment, de Demosth. Orat. pro Ctesiph. praestantiu, Isenac. 1832. 18.

The two orations against Aristo- geiton belong to the time after b. c. 338. The genuineness of these two orations, especially of the first, was strongly doubted by the ancients them- selves (Dionys. de Admir. ri die. Dem. 57 ; Har- pocrat. s. w. &fupls and veoArJs ; Pollux, x. 155), though some believed them to be the productions of Demosthenes. (Liban. Argum. p. 769 ; Phot. Bibl. p. 491.) Modem critics think the first spurious, others the second, and others again both. See Schmidt, in the Excursus to his edition of Deinarchus, p. 1 06, &c. ; Westermann, Quaest. Demosth. iii. p. 96', &c. 26 and 27. The two orations against Aphobus were delivered in b. c. 364. 28. np6sAtpo€ov ^pfvSofjoprvpiuv, is suspected of being spurious b}' ^^'estermann, Quaest.
