Greek Anthology 6.246.5-6 (
Philodemus or Argentarius), but read
r(oi/zou. This epigram, a dedication to Poseidon after a horse race victory (cf. Gow and Page,
Garland of Philip, vol. I, (156-157)), is assigned to Argentarius by Gow and Page (
Garland of Philip, vol. II (371)) on stylistic grounds. See also further excerpts from this epigram at
delta 1245,
kappa 1338,
kappa 1519, and
sigma 1055.

Greek Anthology 6.307.3 (
Phanias), on the barber Eugathes who forsakes his trade for philosophy, but comes back to it when faced with starvation; cf. more fully at
phi 120; Gow and Page,
Hellenistic Epigrams, vol. I (163-164) and vol. II (473-475); and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 889 and
sigma 1348. Although here the Suda transmits
a)/kitin, the
Anthologia Palatina scribe designated C (the Corrector) proposed the spelling
donakh=tin, while Gow and Page (
Hellenistic Epigrams, vol. I (164)) transmit
donaki=tin.
