the fourth century, when they become very frequent. i®* Hence I have 

 hesitated to assign the epigram to Archilochus. Moreover, the words 

 v^r)Xovs Kiovas savor of rhetoric, and the address «... yaV suggests a 

 later period. 



Archil. 19. I have rejected this epigram because it is obviously so 

 incomplete that it is impossible to say what was the original character 

 of the poem to which it belonged. The content is not a reason for 

 rejecting it. 



Sappho 120. Reitzenstein (p. 107) says ^^ fivrnxara KOKoCotas stehen 

 nicht auf Marmor sondern im Buch." Although I do not feel certain 

 of the truth of this, I have rejected the epigram because it gives no 

 indication that it was intended for a tomb. See pp. 16 flf. 



Demod. 3, 4. See PLG. 



Anac. 113. The absence of any indication that these verses were 

 inscribed shows that they cannot have been written at the time of 

 Anacreon as an inscription. The style appears too ornate and elabo- 

 rate for an early epideictic epigram. (Cf PLG.) Kaibel's i®^ argu- 

 ment that the words irnTpi8os aiqs appear only here in an epigram of the 

 sixth century does not appear to me conclusive, since the phrase is not 

 common in any age, and there is nothing in it inconsistent with the 

 style of the sixth century. 



Anac. 115, 116. The name of ]\Iyron shows that these verses are 

 later than the time of Anacreon, and their striking resemblance to the 

 sort of epigram so common in the Alexandrian age ^'® makes it im- 

 probable that they are contemporary with Myron himself 



Erinna 3-5. The question as to how many poets by the name of 

 Erinna there were in early times, and the precise periods when they 

 flourished, may be passed over here. These three epigrams at any 

 rate were not composed before the third century. Cf with 4 AP 9. 

 736 and A PI 248, poems of the Alexandrian era. The style and the 

 content alike are inconsistent with an early date.
