Greek Anthology 7.39.1-3 (Antipater of Thessalonica), an epitaph for
Aeschylus; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 20-21) and (vol. II, 31). For 'towered up' see again
pi 3204. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 20) that here the Suda follows the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) in reading the unmetrical
fro/nhma (
thought). They adopt (ibid.) the emendation given by the AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) and the
Anthologia Planudea:
fw/nhma (
speech, language, vocabulary); cf. Gow and Page (vol. II, 31).
