a| Sir Charle Boyle (1676-1731) published his edition of Phalaris at the request of the scholars of Christ Church, Oxford, as part of the controversy with Dr. Richard Bentley (1662 -1742), which led to Swift’s Battle of the Books.

a| Bentley's dissertation upon the epistles, published in 1699, proved that the letters in question, supposedly written in the 6th century BCE by the Sicilian tyrant Phalaris, were actually a forgery produced by a Greek sophist in the 2nd century CE.
