Translation: [Meaning] a measure of land, from which also the cleruchs [are named], meaning those who possess the allotments and the measures of land.[1]
"Light-bringer, savior, take your stand by the allotments of Pallas, O Artemis."[2]
When Jacob began to count his 12 sons starting from Benjamin and found Levi the tenth, he brought him to God, tithing of his children and of everything he had, according to the promise made when he escaped: 'Of everything you give me, I will give a tithe in return to you.' For this reason putting on Levi a robe of priestly sacrifice he brought him to God in Bethel. And because of this those who preside over sacrifice and liturgy according to the Law are called Levites, but those who [preside over the liturgy] according to the priestly service of divine grace have been named clergy [
klhrikoi/], because it is written, 'The Levites will not have a lot among the sons of Israel. For the Lord is their share and allotment.'[3]
But
David calls the changes of conditions
klh=roi, wealth and poverty, slavery and mastery, peace and war: 'in your hands are my allotments.'[4]

Greek Anthology 6.267.1-2 (
Diotimus): cf.
sigma 874; should be "Pollis" rather than "Pallas." On this epigram, a dedication to Artemis on Pollis's estate, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 94); (vol. II, 272-273); and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 2486,
alpha 4566, and
iota 238. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 94) that the Suda follows the
Anthologia Palatina in reading
*palla/dos, but they adopt the correction
*po/llidos (
of Pollis) due to J.J Reiske (German scholar and physician, 1716-1774)
