ABSTRACT
The words quoted are probably Pindar's {Frag. 207) and Sappho's words have dropped out.
Pausanias : The Lesbian poetess is witness that gold is untarnished by rust.
Scholiast to Pindar : Gold is indestructible, as Sappho also sings [ . . . ] ; for " gold is a child of Zeus, no moth nor worm can eat it away".
