Greek Anthology 6.124.1-2 (
Hegesippus), the dedication of a shield to Athena; again at
alpha 1281 and
tau 594; cf. Gow and Page, vol. I (104) and vol. II (299); cf. a further excerpt from this epigram at
kappa 1254. The verb at the end of line 1 (here appearing as the headword) is twice (here and in
tau 594) given as
a)/hmai. Gow and Page follow (vol. I, 104) the
Anthologia Planudea in reading
h(=mai "I sit, I am located" and
*tima/noros with an omicron, but note that both the Suda and the
Anthologia Palatina transmit the unmetrical
*tima/nwros a)/hmai.
