Euclides mentem acuit semper-viventibus lineis, omniaque vere interrogavit mortalibus quaecunque voluit virescens natura evenire figuris et solidis, fundamento quidem hocce omnis fabricato sapientiae, mundoque omni suae relicto signo doctrinae. |
| Comment | = Anth. Gr. Append. III.116 The text of the epigram on Euclid is slightly different from the one that has been published in Cougny (1890: 309). Where Cougny's text reads βροτοῖς, πάντα τε ἀτρεκέως ἐξερέεινε in line 2 of the epigram, the same line as Arethas has written it on fol. 387v runs πάντά τε ἀτρεκέως ἐξερέεινε βροτοῖς. Westerink (1972: XV): 'Duo epigrammata in Euclidem praebet Arethae codex Bodleianus, edidit Heiberg op. cit. pp. XXVII-XXIX. de altero, quod post duplicem subscriptionem addidit Arethas f. 397v, vix dubito quin ipsius sit, quaesitam eius inelegantiam, frequentiam versuum spondiacorum, denique ipsa verba cum epigrammatis in Anthologia servatis (Opp. 79-81) comparans:'. |
