Discourses, Books V–VIII (lost)
The last four books of the Discourses were lost in the Middle Ages. Only fragments quoted by other authors survive; the longest is Aulus Gellius' (XIX.1), who read Book V aboard a ship during a storm.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
Authorship note
Arrian's notes, like the surviving ones. Their existence is attested by Photius (cod. 58), who knew eight books, and by Aulus Gellius, who quotes a passage from Book V.
