Translation

[Meaning] of dogs.¹ "For the barking of Castorids pleased you."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καστορίδων· κυνῶν. σοὶ γὰρ Καστορίδων ὑλακὰ εὔαδε.

Betacode

*kastori/dwn: kunw=n. soi\ ga\r *kastori/dwn u(laka\ eu)/ade.

Notes (1)

[1] Genitive plural, evidently from the quotation given. For the large Spartan kastorides, a.k.a. kastoriai, cf. Xenophon, On Hunting 3.1.
2Greek Anthology 6.167 (Agathias Scholasticus); again at tau 1009 (but with, wrongly, a single dog). The quotation shows Doric or Aeolic forms u(laka/ (Attic-Ionic u(lakh/) and eu)/ade (for e)/vvade). Additional quotes from this epigram, a dedication to Pan, are at epsilon 1658 and eta 48.

ε1658ἘξεσόβησαI scared away[Meaning] I chased out. In the Epigrams: "I scared away the wits poured out of [my] chest." And elsewhere: "and [he] often used to scare away cowering [animals]."
η48Ἡγέτηςleader, guide[Meaning] the one who leads. "O guide double chases!"
