The present study looks at the context in which Alexander’s patrius sermo occurs in Curtius’ [Q. Curtius Rufus’] account of the Philotas affair and what its significance may be, as far as Makedonian mode of speech is concerned. When Curtius’ account of the Philotas affair is read, one cannot but notice, detailed narrative, colored with dramatic overtones. However, before analyzing Curtius’ account of the Philotas affair, it would be of considerable interest to see first what space has been allotted to this affair by Arrian, Plutarch, Diodoros, and Justin.

La Cronologia della Seconda Filippica Demostenica e le Ambascerie di Artaserse III ad Atene8/31/1998 Problemi di metodo circa le orazioni pubbliche di Demostene. Il presente contributo vuole collocarsi nell'ambito del rinnovato interesse per la problematica inerente la definizione sia tipologica che cronologica delle demegorie demosteniche e, più in particolare, prende le mosse da uno studio da noi condotto sulla cosiddetta "lettera regale" di Oleveni, controverso documento epigrafico di area macedone.
In the course of seminars on the Hellenistic world the question was raised several times: who were the categories of persons named in Ptolemaic documents, and in particular who were "the Persai"?

Nelle fonti letterarie agli avvenimenti degli anni successivi alla morte di Alessandro Magno ricorre spesso una sorta di "formula" fissa costituita da una sostantivo plurale: βασιλεῖς, che, com'è noto, designa... This study elucidates the diplomatic context of the “Abecedar,” a Slavic primer prepared in 1925 by the Greek authorities for use by Greece's Slavic-speaking population. The “Abecedar” has become widely known recently because in various partisan studies its very existence and its withdrawal shortly after its circulation have been employed as sound evidence for the existence of an ethnic Macedonian minority in Greece even before World War II. Archival sources, used here for the first time, provide substantial evidence to show that the primer was a desperate and honest (at least for European observers) attempt by Greece to comply with its minority obligations and simultaneously to neutralize Bulgarian and Serbian involvement in Greek Macedonia. The attempt eventually failed owing to local pressure and diplomatic necessity.
