Greek Anthology 5.197.1 (Meleager [
Author,
Myth]). Our accepted text has the spelling
ki/kinnos, as does the Suda's following quotation of
Aristophanes. On this epigram, in which the poet confesses exhaustion from his loves, among them the hetaera
Timo, see Gow and Page, vol. I (222-223) and vol. II (620-621).

Aristophanes,
Wasps 1067-1070 (web address 1); quoted more fully in
kappa 2657.
eu)ruprwkti/a is of course "being a bottom", "effeminacy" (see also
epsilon 1121).
