[3] Greek Anthology 6.117.1-2 (attributed to Pancrates), the blacksmith Polycrates dedicates his tools to Hephaestus; cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 155), and (vol. II, 445), and further excerpts from this epigram at alpha 246 and omicron 92.
[4] Greek Anthology 7.5.1-2 (attributed by some to Alcaeus), Homer affirms that he is a citizen of Chios, not of Salamis (on Cyprus, Barrington Atlas map 72 grid D2); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 10), (vol. II, 26-27), and omicron 251. Gow and Page note that attributions to Alcaeus were asserted in a lemma by the Anthologia Palatina scribe designated J (vol. I, 10). Although they find the remark dubious (vol. II, 26), Gow and Page nevertheless include the epigram as the last in the Alcaeus series (vol. I, 3-10). Chios (Barrington Atlas map 56 grid C5; see OCD(4) s.v.) is the traditional home of the Homeridae (cf. omicron 248 and OCD(4) s.v.), and by most accounts this polis can legitimately claim Homer as its citizen; cf. Gow and Page (vol. II, 27).
