[1] Greek Anthology 7.172.3 (Antipater of Sidon), a farmer is snake-bitten while trying to drive birds away from his crops; see also more fully at alpha 3313, kappa 2231, and rho 174; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 18-19); (vol. II, 51-52); and further excerpts from this epigram at beta 308, epsilon 1287, omicron 971, and psi 75. Gow and Page note (vol. II, 51) that the headword, xermasth/r (stone-slinger), here in the genitive singular, is not attested elsewhere.
