XIV. An Array of Battle against the Alani, is a fragment discovered in the seventeenth century in the Description of his Battles with the Alani, who invaded his province, probably 187 A.D., as Arrian had previously feared.

XV. A small work by Arrian on the Chase, forms a supplement to Xenophon's book on the same subject. It is entitled Cynegeticus of Arrian or the second Xenophon the Athenian.
