[2] Herodian the grammarian, in Eustathius' Commentary on the Odyssey 1745.64 and 1746.12. On hypothetical monosyllabic verbs, see phi 394 (Philoxenos of Alexandria).
[3] Greek Anthology 6.238.3 (Apollonides), a poor farmer's dedication to an unnamed deity; cf. Gow and Page vol. I (128-129) and vol. II (149). Other excerpts from this epigram appear at alpha 2931, pi 1940, and pi 1946.
