There are twelve letters attributed to the fourth century BC orator Aeschines; it is accepted by all that they are spurious, and most scholars would date them to the second century AD and later. Epistle 10 is essentially a short story or novella in epistolary form. Given the nature of the text and its location buried within the corpus of pseudo-Aeschinean Epistles , very little attention has been given to this little story, so the issues to consider begin with the basics of form and genre. The main focus of this chapter is on the epistolary form of this text: firstly considering how epistolary it is, and then asking why its author chose to use the epistolary form, and what implications this has for the narrative it contains. Keywords:epistolary form; narrative literature; pseudo-Aeschinean Epistles
