Greek Anthology 6.202.1-2 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum), a dedication of garments to Artemis after childbirth; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 107), (vol. II, 309-310), and these lines again at
theta 615. Gow and Page judge
Leonidas to be much too fond of adjectives beginning with
eu)- and note that
eu)qu/sanon (
well-tasseled) here is not found elsewhere (ibid., 309).
