What reading level is The Authorship of the Platonic Epistles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
rd ^e Xouna ovxoi vvv ye dvvaiai EVQ6%rj(iev, al de teal evQsQ'^, ^'|et roi.
Diogenes then gives as the reply of Plato our Epistle in practically identical form.
Now these writings of Ocellus are universally admitted to be spurious. ^ Zeller [Gesch. d. Phil., iii, 2, III) thinks they were composed shortly before 50 b.c, and conjectures that the forger may have written, to accompany them, a covering letter from Archytas to Plato and a reply from Plato to Archytas. " By means," adds Steinhart, " ...of the sacred authority of Plato, on whom he fathers the reply, he desired to impress the stamp of genuine- ness on his forgery." This conjecture seems highly probable.
Bitter, who would (on what seem inadequate stylometric grounds) group Epp. ii, vi, xii, and xiii as being of the same authorship, suggests that these ^iTrOjttj'jyjMara may be the same as the nweayogeto which Plato sends Dionysius in Ep. xiii, 360 B.
Believing as I do that xiii is genuine, I think it possible that the mention of these liv^ayoQeux may have suggested to the pseudo-Ocellus the complete plan of forging the fragments and a recognition of them in a letter from Plato.
