The Greek word occurs (from Phanias) in Suidas but nowhere else unless it is concealed in in an inscription of Roman date, I.G. ix. 1.Google Scholar 61. 20 (which in view of the meaning of the noun seems unlikely); druppa is used elsewhere by Pliny (12. 130, 15. 26, 17. 230, 19. 79), but by him only.

^{page 231 note 3} The phrase in the epigram is . Emendators have made nothing of the epithet, and I am almost ashamed to record that I have sometimes wondered whether Latin may not have something to say to it as well as to the noun. At any rate hiulcus (‘split’, ) would make excellent sense in the context.

^{page 231 note 4} A.P. 7.537 is headed in A.P. but in Plan. . It is probably unimportant that the author of the other epigrams is nowhere called and certainly unimportant that this is the only epitaph among the eight, but Planudes' mysterious ascription to Theophanes casts a shade of doubt on the authorship. Plan, also ascribes 7.539 (Perses in A.P.) to Theophanes. Both these epigrams are in a firmly Meleagrian context, the only known poet named Theophanes is the Byzantine author of A.P. 15. 14, 35, but there may of course have been others for the name is not rare.

^{page 232 note 1} I doubt whether L. and S. is right in classing here with Ar. Thesm. 239, Hdas. 5. 45; and Beazley calls my attention to a hydria by the Phiale Painter in the British Museum (C. V. iii. i. c, pl. 80. 4) and a pelike in the manner of the Washing Painter in Leningrad (Annali, 1870, pl. R). On the first a woman gives a dancing lesson to small girls; on the second, one dwarf superintends another at the punching bag. Woman and first dwarf carry looped over the hand what looks like a (presumably boneless) tail.

^{page 232 note 2} Phanias is fond of coining (and maltreating) adj. in None occurs elsewhere. in 295 is borrowed from Leonidas (6. 302) and mis used. The noun to which is attached is , ‘sardine’, and the meaning is ‘full of bones’, not, as L. and S. would have us believe, ‘fond of thorn bushes’.

Lapithe was a town in Thessaly, and with all the world to choose from seems an odd choice for the ethnic of an imaginary character.
