The name 'Dionysius' is definitely wrong. It is due to a confusion with the author of peri hypsus (Pseudo-Longinus) who is named Longinus or Dionysius in a manuscript. The matter is explained in the article Longinus (literature) as follows: "In the reference manuscript (Parisinus Graecus 2036), the heading reports “Dionysius or Longinus”, an ascription by the medieval copyist that was misread as "by Dionysius Longinus." When the manuscript was being prepared for printed publication, the work was initially attributed to Cassius Dionysius Longinus (c. 213-273 CE). Since the correct translation includes the possibility of an author named “Dionysius,” some have attributed the work to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, a writer of the first century CE (Grube xviii). There remains the possibility that the work belongs to neither Cassius Longinus nor Dionysius of Halicarnassus, but, rather, some unknown author writing under the Roman Empire, likely in the first century. The error does imply that when the codex was written, the trails of the real author were already lost. Neither author can be accepted as the actual writer of the treatise." But there, too, it is not properly understood that the only reason for calling Kassios Longinos "Cassius Dionysius Longinus" is the misunderstanding of the heading in the Paris manuscript. So please remove "Dionysius" (that's 19th century scholarship, the facts were already known by 1900) 89.59.29.14621:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
