Notes (1)

The headword, neuter singular of this adjective, is extracted from the quotation given.
1Greek Anthology 6.179.3 (which has pethnw=n for the lexicon's peteinw=n). On this epigram, the dedications to Pan of three brothers who hunt or fish, attributed to Archias, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 402-403), (vol. II, 436), and another excerpt from this epigram at beta 271.
