Where possible, the name of each philosopher has been linked to their Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry, and their number in Diels-Kranz, "Fragmente der Vorsokratiker" (DK n) given.
I have given the year 340 as the "end date" of Sophism because Isocrates of Athens died around this time. He did not call himself a sophist but a philosopher, but there were certainly still self-styled sophists active in the fourth century, and due to his own ties to Gorgias, one of the most prominent sophists, I have decided to include him both as a representative of this cultural milieu and a stand-in for those of his contemporaries that were still willing to call themselves sophists. The issue here is not whether he is or isn't a sophist (it depends on one's usage), but convenience, as is true for all my lists.
