Death & Dying
Book VII, 520
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
If thou wouldst seek Timarchus in Hades to enquire anything about the soul, or about how it shall be with thee hereafter, ask for Pausanias’ son of the tribe Ptolemais, and it is in the abode of the pious that thou shalt find him.
