59., refers to 338, but is unquestionably spurious. (Dionys. de Admir. vi dic. Dem. 23, 44; Liban. p. 6; Harpocrat. s. v. and ; Phot. Bibl. p. 491; Suid. s. v.   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).

Among the lost orations of Demosthenes the following are mentioned : — (Dionys, Deinarch. 11.) 2,  (Pollux, viii. 53; Harpocr. s. v. ) 3. (Bekker, Anecd. p. 90.) 4.

(Bekker, Anecd. p. 335.) A fragment of it is probably extant in Alexand. de Figur. p. 478, ed. Walz. 7. (Harpocrat. s. v., where Dionysius doubts its genuineness.) 8. 'Tirep prirSpwv, probably not a work of Demosthenes. (Suid. s. v., 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.
