Greek Anthology 5.17.1-2 (
Gaetulicus); cf.
pi 969. On this epigram, a prayer to Aphrodite for a safe passage at sea and return to a lover, see Page (51-52). Emphasizing the meagerness of the offering,
yaisti/a here is the diminutive form of the headword; cf. LSJ s.v.

alpha 3086,

Anthologia Palatina (AP), after correction, in reading
o)li/gon (i.e., "a poor little handful"). The genitive plural is transmitted by the AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) and the
Anthologia Planudea (ibid.).
