[2] Others attribute it, as well as the _Margites_, to Pigres of Halicarnassus, the supposed brother of the Carian queen Artemisia, who fought on the side of Xerxes at the battle of Salamis. [3] The extant fragments of Solon have been augmented by lengthy quotations in the _Constitution of Athens_. [4] Since the above was written, four considerable fragments generally assigned to Sappho have been discovered: a prayer to the Nereids for the safe return of her brother Charaxus; the leave-taking of a favourite pupil; a greeting to Atthis, one of her friends, in Lydia; the fourth, much mutilated, addressed to another pupil, Gongyla. They are of great beauty and throw considerable light on the personality of Sappho and the language and metre of her poems. [5] Recently increased by specimens of the _Partheneia_ (choral songs for maidens) and paeans. [6] His Constitution of Athens (q.v.), of which a papyrus MS. was found in Egypt and published in 1891, forms part of a larger work on the constitution of 158 Greek and foreign cities. [7] See Ad. Bauer and J. Strzygowski, "Eine alexandrinische Weltchronik" (1905) (_Denkschrift der kaiserlich. Akademie der Wissenschaften_, li.).
