English abstract
This paper discusses the discovery in a medieval parchment manuscript book of part of a speech by the fourth century BC orator Hyperides entitled Against Diondas. Edwards conducts a detailed discussion of the first two pages, which may be compared with passages in Demosthenes (On the Crown 215-17) and Aeschines (Against Ctesiphon 140-41). The argument is that a number of verbal repetitions indicate clearly that Hyperides and Demosthenes were working together politically, and that Demosthenes was reworking and improving on Hyperides; while stylistic analysis of Hyperides bears out his reputation as the second best orator after Demosthenes.
