Greek Anthology 6.294.5-6 (
Phanias). Apparently upon retirement, Kallon dedicates to Hermes representative items (plural
su/mbol', not the Suda's singular) from his pedagogue's toolkit: the walking stick, a slipper, his cap, the bull's-hide whip, the lash, and the fiery cane. On the role of a "pedagogue," see
pi 1844. See also Gow and Page (vol. I, 162); (vol. II, 465-467); and further extracts from this epigram at
kappa 1663,
nu 37, and
sigma 1310.
