Greek Anthology 6.246.1 (attributed to
Philodemus or Marcus Argentarius), a dedication to Poseidon after victory in a horse race; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 156-157) and further extracts from this epigram at
sigma 1055 and
psi 66. The passage also gives rise to
delta 1245 (as the adjective is a
hapax), and see also, more fully, at
kappa 1519. Gow and Page argue (vol. II, 371) that Argentarius should be credited with this epigram.
