Religion
Book VI, 24
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Hetroporus dedicates to the Syrian Goddess in the porch of this temple his net worn out in vain. It is untainted byany catch of fish, but he hauled out plenty of sea-weed in it on the spacious beach of the anchorage.
