4 On this sense of ἀγρυπνία see too now J. Robert, R.E.G. lxxx (1967), 286–7. Mr. A. H. Griffiths draws my attention to the now note in F. Jacobs' edn. of A.P. (not his Animadv. to Brunck's edn.) quoting Theoph. Sim. Ep. 54, where Medea tells Jason that his σύντονος ἀγρυπνία παρῴχηκε, viz. that he does not stay awake at nights thinking of her the way he used to. Once more (in a cultivated Egyptian writer) surely an echo of Callimachus.
