Greek Anthology 7.141.5-6 (
Antiphilus of
Byzantium), on the elms around the tomb of Protesilaus (Protesilaos,
pi 2961 (q.v.)); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 106-107), (vol. II, 131-132), and a further extract from this epigram at
alpha 904. Adopting a suggestion of Brodaeus (Jean Brodeau, 1500-1563), Gow and Page (vol. I, 106) read
dusmh/nita "wrathful" instead of the Suda's
dusmi/shta.
