[1]
Greek Anthology 6.267.5-6 (
Diotimus), a dedication to Artemis, which has
sa/mbala for what appears here as
su/mbola; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 94); (vol. II, 272-273); and further excerpts from this epigram at
alpha 4566,
iota 238,
kappa 1784, and
sigma 874. The Suda follows the
Anthologia Palatina with this reading, but Gow and Page adopt (vol. I, 94) the emendation
sa/mbala given in the
Apographon cod. Buheriani (associated with the classical scholar and translator Jean Bouhier, 1673-1746).
[2] Simoesius, son of Anthemion (
Homer,
Iliad 4.488).
