[Meaning] in the embrace.¹
In the Epigrams: "you did not go unnoticed by the Graces nor by joyful Academe, in whose embrace I tell all comers of your beneficence".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀγοστῷ· τῷ ἀγκῶνι. ἐν Ἐπιγράμμασι· οὐκ ἔλαθες χάριτας, οὐδ' Ἀκαδημίαν πολυγαθέα, τῆς ἐν ἀγοστῷ σὴν εὐεργεσίην τῷ προσιόντι λέγω.
