Notes (1)

The headword adjective, genitive singular, is perhaps to be regarded as extracted from the quotation given, though its form in the epigram is a(lizw/noio; for a(lizw/nou see Nonnus, Dionysiaca 48.199.
1Greek Anthology 7.218.3 (Antipater of Sidon); epitaph for Lais, the legendary Corinthian hetaera; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 19), (vol. II, 52-3), pi 1457 (with the next line), and pi 1903. Find further extracts from this epigram at alpha 1683, delta 1519, theta 519, theta 588, kappa 751, kappa 1525, kappa 2628, lambda 789, and omicron 51. On Lais, see lambda 40, nu 16, and names of other Corinthian courtesans at epsilon 3266.
