The couplet is listed among the "metrical curiosities" of the [[Greek Anthology|Palatine Anthology]] (its form is a hexameter followed by a trochaic tetrameter) and it might be Timocreon's reply to Simonides' 'epitaph',<ref>David Campbell, ''Greek Lyric'' IV, Loeb Classical Library (1992), page 97</ref> as translated in the introduction of this article. Simonides was from [[Ceos]].
