Greek Anthology 7.147.1-2 (addressed to Ajax: read
*ai)=an "Ajax" instead of
ai)e\n "always"). On this epigram, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 408-411), (vol. II, 442), and further excerpts at
pi 771 and
chi 206. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 409) that the Suda follows the
Anthologia Palatina and the
Anthologia Planudea in reading
ai)e\n, but they adopt the suggestion of R.F.P. Brunck (Alsatian scholar, 1729-1803) and read
*ai)=an.

scholia A (Aristonicus) on
Homer,
