Greek Anthology 6.276.5-6 (attributed to Antipater of Sidon), Hippe's dedication on the occasion of her marriage; quoted again at
lambda 810; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 28) and (vol. II, 75-76). Gow and Page note (vol. II, 76) that
filastraga/lh (
knucklebone-loving, here in the dative; cf.
alpha 4250) is not found elsewhere. The intimation is that Hippe, remaining fond of her girlhood toys, is still of a quite tender age (ibid.).
