Reading edition

Similarly we read in the distich Antipater, Antholog. Graec. bk. II. Tit. 5. No. 3.:

Ἑστηκὸς τὸ Κίμωνος ἰδὼν πέος, εἶφ’ ὁ Πρίηπος, Οἴμοι, ὑπὸ θνητοῦ λείπομαι ἀθάνατος.

(When Priapus saw Cimon’s penis standing stiff, he said, “Woe’s me!” I am thrown in the shade by a mortal, immortal though I be).
