Greek Anthology 6.288.3-5 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum, in Doric dialect), four sisters pray for better fortunes by dedicating spinning and weaving instruments to Athena; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 120), (vol. II, 350-352), and further excerpts from this epigram at
pi 1530 and
sigma 471. See also
alpha 4378 and
kappa 1400 for similar dedications. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 120) that here the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) transmits
molpa/pida, not otherwise attested and evidently an error. However, they follow (ibid.) the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) and the Suda in reading
molpa/tida,
she who sings and dances (Doric); cf. LSJ s.v.
molph=tis (Attic).
