Social Commentaries
Book XI, 150
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Social Commentaries
“The rhetor Athenagoras in consequence of a dream dedicated an Arcadian hat to Arcadian Hermes.” If he is a rhetor, too, in a dream only, we will take it so inscribed to Hermes, but if he is a real one, let “ Athenagoras dedicated this ” suffice.
