Τροχαῖον· οἱ δὲ σαλπιγκταὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτοῖς ὄντες τροχαῖόν τι συμβοήσαντες, δόξαν τοῖς ἐναντίοις ὡς παρὰ τοῦ στρατηγοῦ πεπεμμένοι παρέσχον. καὶ ἐν Ἐπιγράμμασι· οὐ τροχιεῖ τις τὸν Λαπίδην λῃστήν.

- cf. tau 1066.
- 1Cassius Dio 56.22.3 (where 'the general' is named: L. Nonius Asprenas). ↩
- 2Greek Anthology 5.181.3-4 (textually corrupt: 'brigand' is likely to belong to the following clause). In this epigram, attributed to Asclepiades, an impatient host issues instructions to household slaves for an upcoming dinner-party; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 50), (vol. II, 132-134), and another extract at kappa 1635. On the punitive wheel (trochos, the weak link with the rest of the entry) cf. tau 1072, tau 1073. On the Lapiths, a legendary people of Thessaly, cf. lambda 115. ↩
