[1] Greek Anthology 6.94.5-7 (abridged): Philip of Thessalonica. On this epigram, the dedication of the Gallus (cf. gamma 41 and gamma 42) Clytosthenes to Rhea (rho 83), see Gow and Page (vol. I, 306-307); (vol. II, 340); and further excerpts at kappa 2680, lambda 742, and tau 1166. As Gow and Page note (ibid.), here the sagaris is, if not the actual instrument of his castration, at least symbolic of Clytosthenes's self-mutilation.
[2] From glosses on Herodotus 1.215.1, where the headword occurs.
