Prose writings (erroneous attribution)
καταλογάδην (según la Suda)
Supposed prose writings by Parmenides, mentioned only by the Suda. No fragment or title survives, and the report is explained by the influence of Plato's dialogue, whose protagonist is a Parmenides reasoning in prose about the one and the many.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
Authorship note
Groundless attribution. The Byzantine lexicon Suda (10th century) states that besides the poem Parmenides wrote "other works in prose which Plato mentions"; this is almost certainly a confusion with Plato's dialogue Parmenides, in which the character argues in prose. No ancient source quotes any prose writings of his.
