Athens was related to the Ionic dialects of the islands and Asia Minor; cf.
iota 494 and
iota 495.
Ionia is the coastal region of western Asia Minor, south of Aeolis, west of
Lydia, and north of Caria (Barrington Atlas map 56 grids D5-E5).

Greek Anthology 7.27.1 (Antipater of Sidon), quoted also at
alpha 2147; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 16); Gow and Page (vol. II, 44-45); and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 1708,
alphaiota 159, and
sigma 1129. For
Anacreon, see
alpha 1916. Gow and Page note (ibid., 44) that the use of
eu)=xos here, applied to persons, is apparently unique; cf. LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
