p. 21
Simonides lists Tischendorf’s finds as his own compositions, in the front matter of The Periplus of Hannon, King of the Karchedonians (London: Triibner & Co., 1864). Lilia Diamantopoulou, “Konstantinos Simonides: Leben und Werk. Ein tabellarischer Uberblick,” in Getauschte Wissenschaft, eds. Muller et al., 305-25, notes reports of Simonides’s death in 1867, 1868, and 1890. The 1867 notice records Simonides dying of leprosy in Alexandria; Anna Mykoniati, “Biographische Bemerkungen zu Konstantinos Simonides,” in Getauschte Wissenschaft, eds. Muller et al., 87-106, remarks with skepticism that this was a “somewhat Romantic cause of death (eine etwas rornanhafte Todesursache)” and that forgeries by him continued to circulate through the 1870s (105, n.55).

Es sei vermerkt, dass es nicht mit Sicherheit bestätigt ist, ob Simonides 1867 an Lepra starb, eine etwas romanhafte Todesursache, die in ihrer Tragik zu seinem romanhaften Leben passen würde. Auch nach seinem Tod waren von ihm gefälschte Urkunden in Umlauf. Eine Pergamentrolle mit den Persern des Aischylos, offensichtlich in Ägypten gefertigt, tauchte im Jahre 1871 in Italien auf. Ursprünglich im Besitz Friedrich Ritschls wurde sie von Alfred Spranger dem British Museum geschenkt, siehe Jones 1990, 172, und Elliott 1982, 120, Anm. 33. Siehe auch das Nachwort des letzteren Werkes über eine weitere Handschrift, die in den letzten Jahren auftauchte.
It should be noted that it is not confirmed with certainty whether Simonides died of leprosy in 1867, a somewhat novelistic cause of death whose tragedy would fit his novelistic life. Even after his death, forged documents from him were in circulation. A parchment scroll depicting Aeschylus's Persians, apparently made in Egypt, appeared in Italy in 1871. Originally owned by Friedrich Ritschl, it was donated to the British Museum by Alfred Spranger, see Jones 1990, 172, and Elliott 1982, 120, note 33. See also the afterword of the latter work on another manuscript that has emerged in recent years. (Artemidorus)
