[2] Greek Anthology 6.302.8 (Leonidas of Tarentum), Leonidas asks mice to leave his hut, where they will find nothing to eat; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 119); (vol. II, 347-348); and further excerpts from this epigram at eta 380, kappa 2424, mu 702, sigma 676, and sigma 698.
[3] A a(rma/maca was a covered chariot: see LSJ s.v. This comment on the word obviously has no connection with the present entry, and is here simply by dint of alphabetical order.
