Greek Anthology 7.34.1-2 (Antipater of Sidon), on
Pindar; quoted again at
chi 33; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 17) and (vol. II, 47-48). For
Pindar see generally
pi 1617,
pi 1619; for Pieria, one of the notional homes of the Muses,
pi 1564. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 17) that here the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) reads
u(/pnwn (genitive plural,
slumber,
sleep of death), and the
Anthologia Planudea transmits
baruu/mnwn (otherwise unattested; perhaps: "of weighty hymns"), but they follow the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) and the Suda in reading
u(/mnwn.
