| Comment |
Beckby (1958: 432):
Ἁ λίθος ἔστ’ ἀμέθυστος, ἐγὼ δ’ ὁ πότας Διόνυσος·
ἢ νήφειν πείσει μ’ ἢ μαθέτω μεθύειν.
The epigram has been edited also by Dindorf (1863b: 164) as part of the scholia to Euripides Orestes in the following form:
Ἡ λίθος ἔστ’ ἀμέθυστος· ἐγὼ δ’ ὁ πότης Διόνυσος.
ἢ πιθέτω νήφειν, ἢ μαθέτω μεθύειν. |
