The Sentences, an ethical moral code of conduct in the form of a gnomic poem, was written in didactic hexameters of 230 verses in Ionian dialect and cites as its author Phocylides of Miletos (middle of the sixth century BCE ). The text is, however, later than this and was written in a Hellenistic‐Jewish milieu which some scholars date to 30 BCE to 40 CE . Although it is normally defined as a Hellenistic gnomic text, its combination of references to Old Testament rules together with Hellenistic ethics and ideas about the afterlife makes it a one‐of‐a‐kind text and raises questions about its authorship.
