For the headword, see also under
epsilon 3944.

Greek Anthology 6.261 (
Crinagoras), the poet's gift to a friend's son; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (200-201) and vol. II (216). As Gow and Page note (vol. I, 201), here the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) transmits
ei)diko\n (
specific, special), whereas Gow and Page (ibid.) and the Suda follow the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) in reading
*)indiko\n. (
Indian, from India, made in India).
