1. Dionysius of Halycarnassus, De Veterum Censura, 5.4 (1st cent. BCE - missingth cent. CE)

2. Dio Chrysostom, Orations, 18.11 (1st cent. CE - missingth cent. CE)

18.11.  When it comes to the orators, however, who does not know which are the best — Demosthenes for the vigour of his style, the impressiveness of his thought, and the copiousness of his vocabulary, qualities in which he surpasses all other orators; and Lysias for his brevity, the simplicity and coherence of his thought, and for his well concealed cleverness. However, I should not advise you to read these two chiefly, but Hypereides rather and Aeschines; for the faculties in which they excel are simpler, their rhetorical embellishments are easier to grasp, and the beauty of their diction is not one whit inferior to that of the two who are ranked first. But I should advise you to read Lycurgus as well, since he has a lighter touch than those others and reveals a certain simplicity and nobility of character in his speeches.
3. Quintilian, Institutes of Oratory, 10.1.76-10.1.77 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE)
