Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 632-3: "Isocrates, a celebrated Attic orator and rhetorician, was the son of Theodorus, and born at Athens in B.C. 436.. .There were in antiquity sixty orations which went by the name of Isocrates, but Caecilius a rhetorician at the time of Augustus, recognized only 28 of them as genuine...There also exist under his name ten letters, which were written to friends on political questions of the time..."
Brill's New Pauly: "Logographer, teacher of rhetoric and publicist from Athens, Erchia deme, son of Theodoros and Hedyto, 436-338 BC... In the 1st cent. BC, there were 60 speeches under the name of I., of which 25 (Dion. Hal.) or 28 (Kaikilios) were considered genuine. By the Imperial period the corpus seems to have reduced itself to its modern scope, namely 21 speeches and 9 letters, probably including some which are false (Or. 1, Epist. 6 and 10)...."
