Greek Anthology 7.21.3-4 (
Simias of
Thebes); cf.
alpha 4677 and
beta 327. On this epigram, an epitaph for
Sophocles, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 178), (vol. II, 513-514), and another extract at
kappa 1272. As Gow and Page note (ibid.), scholars have debated the ascription of the epigram to
Simias of
Thebes--evidently Socrates's follower and interlocutor appearing in the
Phaedo. The ethnic was in fact inserted into the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) by the AP scribe designated J (
the Lemmatist); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 178). For their part, Gow and Page find that the attribution to the Theban is unlikely and that this epigram is probably the work of
Simias of
Rhodes (vol. II, 514).

Secret History 1.11 (web address 1); about Antonina, wife of Belisarius; cf. Kaldellis (5). Quotations from this passage continue at
mu 306 and

epsilon 671 note.
