Abstract
[Machine translation] The passage of the London fragments of the Hellenics of Oxyrhynchus in which we talk about the Persian gold brought to Greece by Timocrates of Rhodes to trigger the Corinthian War and alleviate Spartan pressure on the Persian Empire reveals that the anonymous author attributed Timocrate's mission to the initiative of the satrap Pharnabazus and that he probably dated it earlier than Xenophon does in the Hellenics, who instead attributes it to the initiative of Titrauste, creating a series of chronological apories. The connection between Timocrates and Pharnabazus suggests that the Hellenics of Oxyrhynchus were written before the Hellenics of Xenophon because, despite a controversial context with other previous authors, they do not mention the link between Timocrates and Titrauste at all.
