Rueos ‘Our, ὕμμος ‘your, and σφόν * their’; compare Sappho :
[the Muses ?] who have made me honoured

by the gift of their work

Aristides On the Extemporised Addition: I think you
must have heard how Sappho, tuo, once boasted to certain
women reputed prosperous, that the Muses had given herself
the true happiness and good fortune, aud even when she
was dead she would not be forgotten.
eg. But I have received true prosperity from

| the golden Muses, and when I die I shall
| not be forgot.

Ath. Jweturs wt Divner: For free women to this day and
girls will call a friend or acquaintance * hetaira’ or ‘comrade,’

as Sappho does:
These songs I will sing right well to-day for the
delight of my comrades.
