Now, though Pseudo-Aristeas is late, there is one part of the work which is most obviously third century B.C.—the questions addressed by Ptolemy II to the Elders and their answers.² This document, except for some interpolations which I shall come to, is paragraphs 187–294 inclusive in Wendland, and I must have some distinguishing names; I shall therefore use ‘Pseudo-Aristeas’ for the late author of the Letter and those parts of the work which he wrote himself, and shall refer to the third-century document as ‘the Questions of Ptolemy II’ or simply ‘the Questions’.
