Greek Anthology 6.214.2-4 (
Simonides) -- but the headword
Daretiou, extracted from it, is otherwise unattested, and problematical. Beckby's text of the
Anthology prints
dareikou= (cf.
delta 72,
delta 73). Arguably more attractive, though, is the idea of some connection -- if it could be made metrical here -- with the
Damareteion, a gold coin which (according to
Diodorus Siculus 11.26.3) was struck by Damarete, the wife of Gelon (
gamma 113).
