Greek Anthology 6.192.5 (
Archias); cf.
beta 365,
phi 192. The item in question is a fishing-rod; cf. generally
delta 1359. On this epigram, a fisherman's dedication, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 404-407); (vol. II, 438-439); and further excerpts from this epigram at
gamma 54 and
iota 68. As Gow and Page note (vol. II, 439), the
tri- here is simply an intensifier; the fishing-rod is a very long reed.
