59. (Greek characters), refers to B.C. 338, but is unquestionably spurious. (Dionys. de Admir. vi dic. Dem. 23, 44; Liban. p. 6; Harpocrat. s. v. (Greek characters) and (Greek characters); Phot. Bibl. p. 491; Suid. s. v.
(Greek characters) Bekker, Aneed. p. 354; Westermann, Quaest. Dem. ii. p. 49, &c.) Its genuineness is defended by Becker (Demosth. als Staatsm. u. red. ii. p. 466, &c.) and Krüger (in Seebode's Archiv; i. 2, p. 277).
60. (Greek characters), is, like the former, a spurious production. (Dionys. de Admir. vi dic. Dem. 44;
Liban. p. 6; Pollux, iii. 144; Phot. Bibl. l. c.;
Westermann, Quaest. Dem. ii. p, 70, &c.)
Among the lost orations of Demosthenes the
following are mentioned : — (Greek characters) (Dionys, Deinarch. 11.) 2, (Greek characters) (Pollux, viii. 53; Harpocr. s. v. (Greek characters)) 3. (Greek characters) (Bekker, Anecd. p. 90.) 4. (Greek characters) (Athen. xni.
p. 592) is perhaps the same as the (Greek characters). (Dionys. Ep. ad Amm. i. 12, who, however, in Demosth. 57, declares it a spurious oration.) 5.(Greek characters) was spurious according to Dionysius. (Demosth. 57.)
6. (Greek characters) (Bekker, Anecd. p. 335.) A
fragment of it is probably extant in Alexand. de Figur. p. 478, ed. Walz.
7. (Greek characters) (Harpocrat. s. v. (Greek characters), where Dionysius doubts its genuineness.)
8. 'Tirep prirSpwv, probably not a work of Demosthenes. (Suid. s. v. (Greek characters), belonged according to
Callimachus (ap. Phot. Bibl. p. 491 ) to Deinarchus.
Besides the ancient and modern historians of the time of Philip and Alexander, the following works will be found useful to the student of De- mosthenes : Schott, Vitae Parallelae Aristot. et Demosth. Antwerp, 1603 ; Becker, Demosthenes als Staatsmann und Redner, Halle, 1816, 2 vols. 8vo.; Westermann, Quaestiones Demosthenicae, in four parts, Leipzig, 1830 — 1837, Geschichte der Griech. Beredtsamkeit, §§ 56, 57, and Beilage, vii. p. 297, &c.; Böhneke, Studien anf dem Gebiete der Attischen Redner, Berlin, 1843.
