Greek Anthology 6.158.2 (Sabinus Grammaticus), already quoted at
theta 613. In both places the Suda presents
foi/bais, which is an unmetrical error for
fo/bais (a word that normally means 'locks of hair' but can be applied metaphorically to curly or leafy plant-parts). Further extracts from this epigram are at
gamma 59 and
nu 591.
