Book VI, 86: In allusion to the above
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Rufus Gettius, son of Memmias, suspended here to Athene his greaves, breastplate, shield, helmet and spear. tine forces for the most part consisted. Timo is a blunder for the name of some god. The officer was of rather high rank, a primipilarius.
