Greek Anthology 7.191.3-4 (
Archias), epitaph for a jay; cf. Gow and Page (412-413); cf.
alpha 2757,
alpha 271, and
alpha 2742. The original has
kre/casa, "plucking a musical instrument", instead of
kra/casa "shouting" -- understandably, since the epigram features both musical instrument and singing.
