Translation

[Meaning] in a mixed-up way.
"On account of the wise-minded readiness to learn which the honeyed [Sophocles] practiced, of Muses and Graces combined."¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄμμιγα· ἀναμεμιγμένως. εἵνεκεν εὐμαθίης πινυτόφρονος, ἣν ὁ μελιχρὸς ἤσκησε, Μουσῶν ἄμμιγα καὶ Χαρίτων.

Betacode

*)/ammiga: a)namemigme/nws. ei(/neken eu)maqi/hs pinuto/fronos, h(\n o( melixro\s h)/skhse, *mousw=n a)/mmiga kai\ *xari/twn.

Notes (1)

Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is a poetic variant of the adverb a)na/miga; see LSJ s.v.
1Greek Anthology 7.22.5-6; cf. pi 1626. This epigram, like Greek Anthology 7.21 (cf. alpha 4677) an epitaph for Sophocles, was by implication attributed to Simias of Thebes in the Anthologia Palatina; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 178-179) and (vol. II, 514-515). On the problematic ascription of these two epigrams, see theta 556 note.
