Greek Anthology 6.204.1-4 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum), a retiring carpenter dedicates his tools to Athena (here abridged: other tools are listed before the verb), for which the majority of mss read "Thêris" instead of the Suda's "Dêris" (again at
delta 491); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 109), (vol. II, 316), and further excerpts from this epigram at
pi 2298 and
rho 289. An equivalent entry in ps.-
Zonaras aside, the headword is not found elsewhere (ibid.).
