Greek Anthology 7.203.1-2 (but in line 2 read instead
h)xh/essan i(/hs gh=run "you send forth your echoing voice"). This epigram, attributed to
Simias, is an epitaph for a decoy partridge; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 177), (vol. II, 512), and another extract at
beta 82. As mentioned by
Xenophon (
Memorabilia 2.1.4, web address 2), fowlers used tamed quails and partridges to attract other birds during a hunt.
