Greek Anthology 5.271.3-5 (Macedonius the Consul), on a courtesan's lost beauty; cf. Madden (161-167). As Madden notes (163), the
Anthologia Palatina reads
trili/stws, but the Suda's alternative spelling here accommodates the meter. Also, something "thrice" done frequently carries the connotation of
often or
earnestly, e.g. "often-prayed-for" or "earnestly-begged-for"; cf. LSJ s.v.
tri/llistos (web address 1).
