[2] Greek Anthology 5.258.3-4 (Paul the Silentiary): "Philinna, your wrinkle is chosen above the juice of all youth. I long to hold in both hands your apples, top-heavy in clusters of fruit, rather than an upright breast of young age. For your autumn is superior to another woman's springtime, and your winter hotter than another's summertime". The Suda has another extract from this epigram at omicron 470.
