Comment A latin translation in a ms. (LEIDEN - BU - Voss. gr. 1° 38) above this epigram in elegiacs supports the definition of this fragment as written in elegiacs, although the metre of the greek epigram is faulty. We give the latin translation:
Iratus recolas quod nobilis ira leonis
in sibi prostratos deneat esse feram
