Notes (1)

[1] The headword gives the Ionic form (extracted from the quotation given); the first gloss gives the Attic equivalent.
2Greek Anthology 7.23b1-2 (attributed to Antipater of Sidon, addressing the poet Anacreon (see alpha 1916)). Preceded by another excerpt from the Greek Anthology at beta 110, this line completes a couplet that in both the Anthologia Palatina and the Anthologia Planudea was inserted between 7.23 (Antipater of Sidon; see alpha 3777, mu 437, tau 393, and chi 518) and 7.24 (attributed to Simonides; see gamma 192, eta 304, and lambda 126); cf. Gow and Page (43). On whether the couplet should be appended to 7.23 and on its possible attribution to the Sidonian, see beta 110 note.
