[1] This feminine name occurs earliest in Herodas, Mimiambs 5 (where B. has been to bed with her slave Gastron). Its formation is discussed by ps.-Herodian and Theognostus.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.206.1-2 (Antipater of Sidon: again, more briefly, at theta 30); it reads e)rato\n and ka/maton instead of the genitive plurals found in the Suda entry here. On this epigram, a dedication of clothing and accessories from five young women to Aphrodite, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 13); (vol. II, 38-39); and further extracts at alpha 4004, epsilon 3743, and kappa 1273. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 13) that here both the Anthologia Palatina (AP) and the Anthologia Planudea transmit e)rato\n. However, the Suda follows the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) in reading the genitive plural e)ratw=n (ibid.). The Suda also follows (ibid.) the AP in reading kama/twn.
