He joined the faculty of New York University in 1969 and for many years chaired the Department of Classics, also serving as a long-time financial trustee for the American Philological Association. His publications include editions of Heraclides' fragments on constitutions and a 1553 index of Greek books in the Vatican (co-authored with Mark L. Sosower and Antonio Manfredi), as well as Teubner editions of Aelian, Aeschines, and the Aeschinean and Demosthenic scholia, and a four-volume edition of Demosthenes' speeches in the Oxford Classical Texts series. Trained in Classics at Rutgers College and Columbia University, David J. Murphy taught Latin and Greek in high schools and colleges in New York before moving on to direct the high school divisions of St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's School and, later, the Nightingale-Bamford School. He also served on the boards of the New York Classical Club and the Classical Association of the Atlantic States, with terms as President of both associations. His publications include articles on Greek palaeography, textual criticism, and Socratic studies, both in journals and collections of essays, and he has co-authored several textbooks on Horace with Ronnie Ancona.
