Greek Anthology 6.227.1,5,6 (
Crinagoras), here converted from third to first person singular (and with
e)rgasi/h| for
eu)maqi/h| in line 6). On this epigram, see Gow and Page, vol. I (200-201) and vol. II (214-215). As Gow and Page observe (vol. II, 214), only bronze and ivory pens, not silver, are known from antiquity; the recipient here is evidently a boy from a very high-ranking family.
