Hellenica Oxyrhynchia
The Hellenica Oxyrhynchia is a Greek historical work known from papyrus fragments found at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt and first published in 1908. Its unknown author continued Thucydides, and the surviving parts cover events of 409 and 396–395 BCE in detail. It is valued as a careful, independent source alongside Xenophon and is the main evidence for the federal constitution of the Boeotian League.
