Book VI, 286
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
The right end of the border, measuring a span and a whole palm, is the work of Bitto; the other extremity was added by Antianira, while Bitie worked the girls and the Maeander? in the middle. Artemis, fairest of the daughters of Jove, take to thy heart this piece of woven work which the three vied in making.
