A meter of verse.¹
Babrias or Babrios, [wrote] Myths or Fables: for they are in choriambs, in ten books. This man changed some of the fables of Aesop from his prose tales into verse; that is choriambs.²

Χορίαμβος· μέτρον στίχων. Βαβρίας ἢ Βάβριος, Μύθους ἤτοι Μυθικά· εἰσὶ γὰρ διὰ χοριάμβων, ἐν βιβλίοις δέκα. οὗτος ἐκ τῶν Αἰσωπείων μύθων μετέβαλεν ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῶν λογοποιΐας εἰς ἔμμετρα· ἤγουν τοὺς χοριάμβους.
