Notes:
[1] Accusative plurals, the headword one presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[2] This word poqeu/ntwn is a Doric form of the present participle (here genitive plural) of poqe/w; it occurs in Theocritus, the poetic model in this case.
[3] Greek Anthology 7.219.5-6 (Pompeius the Younger); cf. kappa 1878, lambda 392, chi 585. The subject is a woman, Lais, "fallen in a due sleep" (line 4). Perhaps this is Lais the legendary courtesan of ancient Greece who was active in Corinth (see epsilon 3266) and, according to Timaeus (FGrH 566 F24a), was murdered by jealous women in Thessaly in the temple of Aphrodite.
