In 2012 M. Canevaro and E. M. Harris published an essay about the documents inserted into the text of Andocides’ speech On the Mysteries. These included the decree of Pa- trocleides (Andoc. 1.74-76), the decree of Teisamenus (Andoc. 1.83-84), the so-called New Laws (Andoc. 1.85 and 87) and the Decree of Demophantus (Andoc. 1.96-98). This analysis showed that these documents were forgeries composed during a later period and inserted into the text of On the Mysteries. M. H. Hansen has now attempted to defend the authenticity of the documents found at Andoc. 1.74-76 and 83-84. In this essay, Canevaro and Harris show that his arguments are not convincing and provide additional evidence against the authenticity of these documents.
