Although Radermacher's arguments for a late date (see especially his praefatio and his adnotationes, p. 92 and pp. 100ff.) have worn thin, the observations made by Roberts (pp. 49ff.) and especially the more recent ones of Dirk Marie Schenkeveld, Studies in Demetrius 'On Style' (Amsterdam, 1964) are too weighty to be ignored. The remarkably developed doctrine of the 
and the author's interest in the writing of 
(223–35) are some of the arguments suggesting larger distance from the first generations of the Peripatetics. Exactly where in the Hellenistic centuries the treatise should be placed remains difficult to decide because our knowledge of major rhetorical doctrines in this period is too limited and uncertain. All I venture to say is that I know of no reason to place the work close to the beginning of the Christian era or even within it.Google Scholar

In that paper I dealt with the passage 1406b9 in a footnote (249 = 159 n. 2, cited by Kassel ad 1406 b9) but in a manner apt to increase rather than to clear up the confusion. Thanks are due to my late friend Rudolf Gungerich for helping me toward a better solution.
