Greek Anthology 6.35.2 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum), a rustic dedication to Pan; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (122) and vol. II (356-357); cf. further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 325,
alphaiota 210,
gamma 73,
lambda 189,
rho 72, and
tau 264. The plane tree of the epigram,
pla/tanos, is almost certainly the Old World or Asiatic Plane,
Platanus orientalis, whose range extends from Asia into Greece and the eastern Mediterranean; cf. Raven (24, 70).
