gleam of a brief-shining lamp that drinks with half-saturate mouth
from a sparing oil-flask; in recompence whereof be gracious, and send

Actium.

TO ARTEMIS OF THE WAYS
ANTIPHILUS

Thou of the Ways, to thee Antiphilus dedicates this hat from his own
head, a voucher of his wayfaring; for thou wast gracious to his

gift; sacrilege is not safe even in little things.

CALLIMACHUS

am dedicated in recompence of his single-handed victory, I the cock of
brass, to the Twin Brethren; I believe the son of Phaedrus the
Philoxenid.

TO THE DELPHIAN APOLLO
PAULUS SILENTIARIUS
