===The ''Hellenica''===
The ''Hellenica'' treated of the history of Greece, in twelve books, from 411 BC (where [[Thucydides]] breaks off) to 394 BC &mdash; the date of the [[Battle of Cnidus]].<ref>[[Diodorus Siculus]]. ''Historical Library'', XIII.42 and XIV.84.</ref> Of this work, only a few fragments were known up till 1907. The ''[[Hellenica Oxyrhynchia|papyrus fragment]]'' of a Greek historian of the 4th century BC, discovered by [[B. P. Grenfell]] and [[A. S. Hunt]], and published by them in ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri'' (Vol. 5, 1908), has been recognized by [[Eduard Meyer]], [[Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff]] and [[Georg Busolt]] as a portion of the ''Hellenica''. This identification has been disputed, however, by [[Friedrich Blass]], [[J. B. Bury]], [[s:Author:Edward Mewburn Walker|E. M. Walker]] and others, most of whom attribute the fragment, which deals with the events of the year 395 BC and is of considerable extent, to [[Cratippus of Athens|Cratippus]].{{sfn|Walker|1911|p=787}}
