Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the analysis in the new Hyperides testimony (Against the Emissaries of Antipater) published by Kilian Fleischer (ZPE 207 [2018] 21–38), this paper updates biographical and historical data using historical-philological arguments. The report of Ps. Plutarch (Vitae X Or. 850A) must evidently be interpreted to the effect that on Rhodes, in 341 BC, Hyperides spoke in favour of a prospective alliance with Athens, countering the emissaries of Antipater. In addition, the new fragment can be connected to a speech delivered in Athens towards the end of the 330s BC as it harmonizes well with other, similar speeches made by Hyperides against pro-Macedonian statesmen.
