... κατ᾽ ἔμον στάλαγμον,
τὸν δ᾽ ἐπιπλάζοντεσ ἄμοι φέροιεν
καὶ μελεδώναισ. [transcription]
From my distress: let buffeting winds bear it and all care away.
From the "Etymologicum Magnum" to show the Aeolic use of ζ [transcription] in place of σσ [transcription] . Bergk conjectures ἄμοι [transcription] for ἄνεμοι [transcription] , "winds". The fragment is tantilizingly incomplete, as so many others are, and the reading of one or two words in not certain.
