Greek Anthology 6.233.2 and 4 (Maikios/
Maecius); apparently referring to a bridle, a charioteer is dedicating implements of his trade to Poseidon; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 282-283) and further excerpts from this epigram at
gamma 373,
kappa 1520,
mu 1430, and
psi 66. Gow and Page (283) follow the
Apographon Guietianum (with correction probably by François Guyet (1575-1655)) by reading
genu/wn (
of jaws) rather than the manifestly incorrect
neku/wn (
of corpses), with which the Suda repeats the
Anthologia Palatina.
