            "content": "Page, *Further Greek Epigrams*, p. 157 : \"Ion is not named by Meleager in his *Proem*, and no epigram ascribed to him occurs within an extract from the *Garland*. If the well-known poet Ion of Chios is meant, the epigrams are certainly spurious, for Euripides outlived Ion by a dozen years. Wilamowitz (*Timotheos* 75 n. I), followed by Blumenthal (*Ion von Chios* 64 *cf.* Schmid-Stählin *Gesch. d. gr. Lit.* I.3.I, p. 327 n. 2, and *RE* 9.1867), suggested that the author might be Ion of Samos, who is known only from an inscriptional epigram (*c.* 400 B.C.) which proves him a bitter enemy of Athens; this identification is a blind and unlikely guess, and it is more prudent to suppose that an anonymous epigram has attracted the name of a famous contemporary of Euripides, chronology notwithstanding.\"",
