Text

οὗτος ὁ πρὶν μακάρεσσι συνέστιος, οὗτος ὁ νηδὺν
πολλάκι νεκταρέου πλησάμενος πόματος,
νῦν λιβάδος θνητῆς ἱμείρεται: ἡ φθονερὴ δὲ
κρᾶσις ἀεὶ χείλευς ἐστὶ ταπεινοτέρη.

πῖνε, λέγει τὸ τόρευμα,
καὶ ὄργια μάνθανε σιγῆς:

οἱ γλώσσῃ προπετεῖς ταῦτα κολαζόμεθα.
— Paton edition

Utet, t. III, p. 402 : "L'attribuzione a Caio Cornelio Gallo, l'amico di Orazio e Virgilio, caduto in disgrazia presso Augusto e morto suicida nel 26 a.C. (Svetono, Ottaviano, 66) non è sicura (Aubreton-Buffière, XIII, p. 259, n.2)."

Les Belles Lettres, t. XIII, p. 259, n.2 : "Unique épigramme de ce poète qui peut être l'élégiaque latin Caius Cornelius Gallus, ami d'Horace et de Virgile, préfet d'Égypte en 30 (...)"

Page, Further Greek Epigrams, p. 60-61 : "(...) it is ascribed to 'Gallus' without qualification, and there is no way of knowing whether this is the same person as the author of 5.49".
