Brill's New Pauly: "Epigrammatist of the ‘Garland’ of Meleager... (Anth. Pal. 4,1,28). Three poems are ascribed to him:
to ‘M. from Samos’ (Μ. Σάμιος) the epigrams Anth. Pal. 9,54 (= Stob. 4,50,62) and 55 (the alternative ascription to Lucillius could be correct),
two distichs on old age, to ‘M. from Smyrna’ (Μ. Σμυρναῖος) the poem 9,390 (with a pathos-filled description of an infanticide).
To which M. Meleager is referring is impossible to say: the frequency of the name speaks against identification, which would assume a
corruption in the ethnika." Albiani, Maria Grazia (Bologna). "Menecrates." Brill's New Pauly. Antiquity volumes edited by: Hubert Cancik and
