Book VI, 357
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
A. May ye be blest, ye children. Who are your parents, and what pretty names did they give to their pretty ones? B. I am Nicanor, and my father is Aeporietus, and my mother Hegeso, and I am a Macedonian. C. And I am Phila and this is my brother. We are both dedicated here owing to a vow of our parents.
