Charvaka Sixty
Dakshinaranjan Shastri's compilations include many aphorisms from the Mimamsa-sutra, Nyaya-sutra and Samkhya-sutra mistakenly believed to be Carvaka fragments (as explained, among others, by Ramakrishna Bhattacharya in "Carvaka Fragments: A New Colection").

The current page reads, I quote: "Dakshinaranjan Shastri in 1928 published 60 such verses. In 1959, he published 54 selected verses as Barhaspatya sutram. Shastri was of the opinion that many more fragments could be recovered. Ramkrishna Bhattacharya (2002) attempts a new reconstruction, with the caveat that the more verses are listed, the greater the uncertainty that it will be either misquoted or foreign materials included as a part of the text."

The current page seems to suggest that Shastri's compilation is the most conservative one and that Bhattacharya simply lists more verses that may or may not belong to the Carvaka, and that is simply not the case. 21st century compilations include aphorisms from works that were not known by scholars in the mid-20th century, and get rid of aphorisms that have been proven to belong to different traditions.
