The authorship of the treatise has been in dispute since ancient times, and The Old Oligarch is a name for the anonymous author that has been used by people down the ages who did not believe
Xenophon wrote it. Modern scholarship is fairly unanimous that he did not. Venerable classicists Marr (formerly U. of Exeter) and Rhodes (honorary U. of Durham) introduce and present what seems
to be a diplomatic Greek edition, with English translation on facing pages and extensive commentary in the end matter. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company. Annotation
