Marcian the Emperor enlarged this wall of the city with beautiful dancing-floors, according to the counsels of Palladius the Prefect and the design of wise Artemeon, and at length the city found its ancient size restored.

I, Cometas, finding the books of Homer corrupt and quite unpunctuated, punctuated them and polished them artistically, throwing away the fifth as being useless, and with my hand I rejuvenated what was useful.  Hence writers now desire to learn them not erroneously, but as is proper. 

Ignatius was the author of these works, highly skilled in learned song; Ignatius was their author, he who brought to light the science of grammar hidden in the ocean of oblivion.  

The physician Asclepiades stole a girl, and after the outrage of his stolen wedding invited to his authentic wedding a crowd of dancers and vile women.  The house collapsed in the evening and all were sent down to the house of Hades.  Corpse lay clasping corpse, and the lordly bridal chamber, with its wreaths of roses, dripped with red blood from the slaughter. 

Pass by this miserable life in silence, imitating by thy silence Time itself.  Live likewise unnoticed; or if not, thou shalt be so in death. 

Celestial is this monument* with its point of beaten gold, of a man who has been given a tomb equal to his life, approaching the stars; and the tomb holds a man, like to none other, the ministrant of the heavenly rites, him who upraised from the ground his city in ruins, whose were the highest gifts of intellect and speech, him for whom there was strife between Attica, that laid his corpse on the pyre, and his country that received his bones in her bosom.

– from Book XV (Miscellanea) in the Greek Anthology, translated and edited by W.R. Paton (1918)
