1 Those who have tried to get hold of the texts quoted by Lattimore, Themes in Greek and Latin Epitaphs (now reprinted Urbana, Illinois, 1962) will no doubt know what I mean.

2 Cf., e.g., Lattimore's already quoted excellent monograph, pp. 183 ff. Lier's fundamental work on Latin sepulchral poetry is known to Griessmair, whereas Weisshäuptl, Die Grabgedichte der griech. Anthol., Wien, 1889 (Abhdl. d. Arch.-Epigr. Seminars d. Univ. Wien, Heft 7), is a notable absentee from his bibliography.
