Notes (3)

1The headword is aorist of e)ksobe/w, first person singular; presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows. For the simple verb sobe/w, see sigma 761, sigma 762. ↩
2Greek Anthology 5.260.4 (Paul the Silentiary), on the poet's obsessive love. See further excerpts from this epigram at delta 307, kappa 1273, and pi 3203. ↩
3Greek Anthology 6.167.8 (Agathias Scholasticus), where the same verb is used in the imperfect. See further excerpts from this epigram--in which Cleonicus, a hunter and fisherman, makes a dedication to an unnamed god, presumably Pan--at eta 48, kappa 466, and tau 1009. ↩
