Abstract Scholars and editors of Hellenistic epigram have often discounted the authenticity of dialectal variance attested in the manuscript tradition, either privileging the dialectal variant that conforms to the predominant dialect in the epigram or even choosing to change attested dialect forms to produce a uniform coloring. This article argues that the addresses to earth at lines 2 and 10 of Leonidas of Tarentum Anth. Pal. 7.440 = Gow/Page, HE 11 were originally Doric. I show that there are paleographic as well as literary grounds for the reading. In particular, the presence of Doric forms at these two points in the epigram evoke the language of tragic lament. The findings of this article have potentially significant implications for the editing of dialectal mixture in the Greek Anthology.

可爱的地球（Tarentum Anth. Pal. 7.440 = Gow / Page, HE 11 的列奥尼达）

摘要 希腊化警句的学者和编辑经常忽视手稿传统中证明的方言变异的真实性，要么优先考虑符合警句中主要方言的方言变体，要么选择改变经证实的方言形式以产生统一的颜色。本文认为，Tarentum Anth 的列奥尼达第 2 行和第 10 行的地球地址。朋友。7.440 = Gow / Page，HE 11 最初是多立克。我表明阅读有古文字和文学基础。尤其是警句中这两处多立克式的出现，唤起了悲哀的语言。本文的研究结果对编辑希腊文选中的方言混合体具有潜在的重要意义。
