ABSTRACT
Which of these are from Sappho can only be guessed. I leave the non-Aeolic forms of the MS.
Cf. "Softer than sleep" (Anth. Pal. ix, 567; Theocr. xv, 125), etc. It is difficult to see why such expressions should be so severely condemned. The instances marked with an asterisk were very possibly by Anacreon, whom Gregorius mentions first.
