Greek Anthology 6.247.3 (Philip of Thessalonica); with the headword in the accusative case. On this epigram, the weaver Aesione's dedication to Athena, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 312-313); (vol. II, 345); and its further excerpts at
alpha 4378,
lambda 371,
omicron 587, and
tau 39. As Gow and Page note (ibid.), Aesione would use a specialized comb for separating strands; the reference to hair is metaphorical (cf. Paton (430-431)).
