[3] The word
kusi/balon is probably hypothetical, as it is only attested in attempts, like this, to etymologize
sku/balon; cf.
Etymologicum Gudianum 505.6-8,
Etymologicum Magnum 719.53, and Meletius,
On the Nature of Man 38.10.

Greek Anthology 6.302.6-7 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum), in which a destitute old man is addressing a bothersome mouse. This seems to have been one of the favorite epigrams of the Suda compiler(s). Other parts of it are quoted at
alpha 3965,
eta 380,
kappa 2424,
mu 702, and
sigma 676. In the punctuation of Beckby's edition of the
Anthology, the two phrases belong to different sentences.
