Greek Anthology 6.307.3-4 (
Phanias), on the barber Eugathes who forsakes his trade for philosophy, but returns to it when facing starvation; quoted from
phi 120, q.v.; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (163-164), vol. II (473-475), and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 889 and
psi 66. The
Anthologia Palatina (AP) reads
suno/nuxas, whereas the Suda follows the emendation of the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) in transmitting
sulo/nuxas; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (164).
