Death & Dying
Epigram XIV (Mair)
Translated by A. W. Mair (1921) · From Epigrams (Loeb, 1921)
Death & Dying
If thou goest to Cyzicus, it will be small trouble to find Hippacus and Didyme: for not obscure is their family. And a painful message thou wilt tell them, yet tell them this, that I here cover Critias, their son.
