cf. omicron 949, sigma 160.
[1] Greek Anthology 6.111.4 (Antipater of Sidon), a hunter dedicates to Artemis the hide and antlers of the deer he killed, also quoted at rho 221; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 26), (vol. II, 69-71), and another extract from this epigram at delta 1088. It is unclear, perhaps, how a hunter could kill a deer with the butt-end of a spear. But Gow and Page point out (vol. II, 71) that military spears often included a spike on the butt-end, which is used as a back-up when the action end is broken and for staking the spear in the ground when not in use as a weapon. Ordinary hunting gear is not so configured (ibid.). It is thus possible that the deer was killed by an off-duty soldier or by a hunter opportunely equipped with a military spear. On whether the deer is a hart or a hind, cf. delta 1088 note.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler (who cited only Callimachus: see next note), but it is Paul the Silentiary, Description of Sancta Sophia 824. The passage seems to refer to silver discs hanging in the church which were pierced by a craftsman for the purpose quoted. Bekker rendered the passage: ut confectas vitro igne elaborato cuspides exciperent (39).
