Abstrakt(y)
The current study has three objectives. First, it provides an in-depth analysis of the argumentation of the oration Against Timocrates. Second, the analysis focuses on the issues of textual criticism that arose in the 19th century and have been debated ever since. Approaching the problems from a new perspective – augmenting the convincing arguments put forward by E. M. Harris with the analysis of the argumentation – the study argues that the two halves of the speech are in fact parts of a well-planned and precisely edited whole, and that the integrity of the text needs not to be questioned. Third, it supports Rhodes's and Harris's work providing a case-study of how a speech could be constructed to ensure that the arguments are wide-ranging in method and relevant from a legal point of view.
