[1] Greek Anthology 6.109.3 (Antipater), a hunter's dedication to Pan; cf. Gow and Page vol. I (44-45), vol. II (63-65), and another excerpt from this epigram at gamma 276. This epigram has generally been credited to Antipater of Sidon, but Gow and Page assign it instead--with due reservations--to the later Thessalonican Antipater; see their discussion at vol. II (63).
