Greek Anthology 7.198.1-2 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum), an epitaph for the pet grasshopper of a woman named Philaenis (here abridged, and with the words
mikro\s i)dei=n reversed), which in fact gives the form of the adjective as
tumbi/ths. Also see Gow and Page (vol. I, 114), (vol. II, 330-332), and other extracts from this epigram at
epsilon 3926 and
kappa 197. Gow and Page (vol. I, 114) here follow the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) and the
Anthologia Planudea in reading
tumbi/ths. The Suda, however, adopts an emendation of the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) and transmits
tumbei/ths (ibid.).
