[472] Dion. (_de Dinarcho_, ch. iv., _ad fin._) believed that he wrote
no speeches during this time, for nobody would take the trouble to go to
Chalcis for a speech either in a private or public action—οὐ γὰρ τέλεον
ἠπόρουν οὕτω λόγων. Dionysius consequently rejected as spurious all
speeches attributed to Dinarchus which were dated between 307 and 292 B.C.
[473] Suidas says that he was appointed Commissioner of the Peloponnese
(ἐπιμελητὴς Πελοποννήσου) by Antipater, but this was another Dinarchus.

of this name.
