Greek original · Adler’s text
Νυμφεῖος οἶκος· ἐν ᾧ αἱ νύμφαι εἰσί. Νύμφιος δὲ κόσμος, κτητικῶς, ὡς Τύριος, Φρύγιος, Λύδιος. ἠματίᾳ ᾧ νύμφιος ἀνήπτετο λαμπάδι παστάς, τούτῳ πυρκαϊῆς οὐ ναλάμων ἔτυχες.

Notes (3)
- 1For the headword phrase, Adler compares Ambrosian Lexicon 35, as well as ps.-Zonaras nu1408 and Philoponus (de vocabulis nu4). ↩
- 2Similarly in the Synagoge, Photius (nu289 Theodoridis), and Lexica Segueriana 310.10. ↩
- 3Greek Anthology 7.188.7-8 (Antonius Thallus). Line 7 should begin
h)/mati d'w(=| . The penultimate word isqala/mwn ; Adler regards the erroneousnala/mwn in the Suda as influenced bynama/twn in nu 594. Verses 5-6 of this epigram are quoted at epsilon 2994, mu 1258, and phi 800. ↩
