III. show speeches.

59. 'ETTira^ios, refers to b. c. 338, but is un» questionably spurious. (Dion}Ts. de Admir. vi die. Dem. 23, 44 ; Liban. p. 6 ; Harpocrat. s. vv. AiycT-Sou and KeKpoTrfs ; Phot. Bibl. p. 491 ; Suid. s. v. Af]ijLou64v7js • Bekker, Anecd. p. 354 ; Wester-mann, Quaest. Dem. ii. p. 49, &c.) Its genuine­ness is defended by Becker (Demosth. als Staatsm. u. Red. ii. p. 466, &c.) and Krliger (in Seebode's Archiv, i. 2, p. 277).

60. 'EpwTi/cos, is, like the former, a spurious production. (Dionys. de Admir. vi die. Dem. 44 ; Liban. p. 6 ; Pollux, iii. 144; Phot. Bibl. I. c. ; Westermann, Quaest. Dem. ii. p. 70, &c.)

Among the lost orations of Demosthenes the following are mentioned: — AKpiXq) o^tTryopiKcis alrovvTL Scoped s. (Dionys. Deinarch. 11.) 2. Kard MeSovros. (Pollux, viii. 53 ; Harpocr. s. v. Ae/ca-reueii/.) 3. npos YloAvevKTov irapaypatyri. (Bek­ker, A need. p. 90.) 4. nepi xPvcr'lov (Athen. xiii. p. 592) is perhaps the same as the diroXoyia t&v Scopa**/. (Dionys. Ep. ad Amm. i. 12, who, how­ever, in Demosth. 57, declares it a spurious ora­tion.) 5. nepi tov /zt) e/c5ourai "ApTraAov, was spurious according to Dionysius. (Demosth. 57.) 6. Kara A^aSou. (Bekker, Anecd. p. 335.) A fragment of it is probably extant in Alexand. de Fiyiir. p. 478, ed. Walz. 7. Hpos Kpmaz/ Trepi tov ev€iri(TK'r)/j./naTos. (Harpocrat. s. v. 'Eveiri(r-KrjjU/^a, where Dionysius doubts its genuineness.) 8. 'TTrep prjropcav., probably not a work of Demos­thenes. (Suid. 5. v. "A^aa.) 9. 'T-Trep ^arupou ttjs sTTLTpoTrijs Trpos Xapt^rj^oz/. 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 Redncr, Halle, 1816, 2 vols. 8vo ; Westermann, Quaestiones Demosthenicae, in four parts, Leipzig, 1830 — 1837, Geschichte der Griech. Beredtsamkeit^ §§ 56, 57, and Beilac;e^ vii. p. 297, &-c. ; Bohneke, Studien aufdem Gebiete der Attischen Redner, Berlin, 1843. [L. S-]

DEMOSTHENES (A^o^eV^s). 1. The fa­ther of the orator. See above.

2. A Bithynian, wrote a history of his native country, of which the tenth book is quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium, (s.vv. Koo'cros', MawwAoi'; comp. s. vv. Tapas, Tapo"os, Teu^uTjtro'os, 'AAe^a^-Speta, 'Apra/cT? ; Etym. Mag. s. v. 'Hpai'cc.) He further wrote an account of the foundations of towns (KTio-ets), which is likewise several times quoted by Stephanus. Euphorion wrote a poem against this historian under the title of ArifjLoaQevrjs, of which a fragment is still extant. (Bekker, Ancc-dot. p. 1383 ; comp. Meineke, de Eupliorione, p 31.)

3. A Thracian, a Greek grammarian, who wrote according to Suidas (s. ??.) a work on the dithyram-bic poets (irepl didvpajj-goiroicav), a paraphrase of Homer's Iliad and of Hesiod's Theogony, and an epitome of the work of Damagetus of Heracleia. (Westermann, Quaest. Dem. iv. pp. 38, 88.)

4. Surnamed the Little (d /ui/cpo/s), a Greek rhe­torician, who is otherwise unknown ; but some fragments of his speeches are extant in Bekker's Anecdota (pp. 135, 140, 168, 170, 17-8). [L.'S.J
