[2] An approximation of
Greek Anthology 6.332.5-6 (the Emperor Hadrian, writing of Trajan), the mss of which read (more credibly)
a)teirh/s in place of
a)teirei=s, yielding the meaning "when he, tireless, sacked the haughty Getae....". For the Getae of the lower Danube, targeted in Trajan's two Dacian Wars, cf.
epsilon 1961. Find further excerpts from this epigram at
