I see that my recent post on this topic has been ignored. So here it is
again.

Dear B-greekers,

What is the best collection of Hellenistic prose writings in Greek? I am
aware of one book with the same title as in the subject header, but it
contains poetry only. I am also aware of Allen Wikgren's work from the
'40's, but that book contains, IMHO, a disproportionately large amount of
Biblical/Christian materials. It does have some interesting pieces from
the papyri. I just picked up a more recent book (2001) by C. D. N. Costa
called **Greek Fictional Letters** which, in the nature of the case, is
mostly Hellenistic. I'm curious to see what all of you recommend.

Yours in His grace,
