Greek Anthology 6.348.1-2 (
Diodorus). The Suda mss actually omit the headword adjective from the quotation; Küster (Ludolf Küster, Westphalian classical scholar, 1670-1716) had to supply it. On this epigram, an epitaph for a woman who died in childbirth, see Gow and Page vol. I (242-243) and vol. II (274-275).
