Greek Anthology 6.94.5-7 (abridged): Philip of Thessalonica. On this epigram, the dedication of the
Gallus (cf.
gamma 41 and
gamma 42) Clytosthenes to Rhea (
rho 83), see Gow and Page (vol. I, 306-307); (vol. II, 340); and further excerpts at
kappa 2680,
lambda 742, and

Herodotus 1.215.1, where the headword occurs.
