THE POEMS OF SAPPHO

67

Τίς δ᾽ αγροιῶτίς τοι θέλγει νόον,
οὖκ ἐπισταμένα τὰ βράκε᾽ ἔλκην
ἐπὶ τῶν σφύρων;


What rustic girl bewitches thee who knows not how to draw her dress about her ankles?


What rustic girl bewitches thee, Who cannot even draw Her garments neat as they should be, Her ankles roundabout?


Athenaeus and others quote these lines.


68

Ἤρων ἐξεδίδαξ᾽ εκ Γυάρων τὰν τανυσίδρομον.

Hero of Gyara, that swift runner, I taught.


Quoted by Choeroboscus to show an Aeolic form of the accusative.
