Ἀλλ' ἔων φίλος ἄμμιν [ἄλλο]
λέχος ἄρνυσο νεώτερον·
οὐ γὰρ τλάσομ' ἔγω ξυνοίκην
νέῳ γ' ἔσσα γεραιτέρα.
But if thou lovest us, choose another and a younger bed-fellow; for I will not brook to live with thee, old woman with young man.
From Stobaeus' Anthology, and Apostolius.

Εὐμορφοτέρα Μνασιδίκα τᾶς ἀπάλας Γυρίννως.
Mnasidica is more shapely than the tender Gyrinno.
Quoted by Hephaestion as an example of metre (cf. p. [24]).
