Greek Anthology 6.252.1-4 (
Antiphilus), on the gift of a quince, preserved in winter, to a noblewoman of high rank; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 92-93); (vol. II, 117); and further excerpts from this epigram at
alpha 904,
alpha 976,
alpha 4212,
kappa 2502,
nu 439,
pi 3074, and
sigma 903. Gow and Page here follow (vol. I, 92) the
Anthologia Planudea by reading
strou/qeion instead of the Suda's
strou/qion, which the
Anthologia Palatina transmits.
