"Translation from Ptolemaeus" - ink holograph, unpublished

"Translation from Ptolemaeus", unpublished. This envelope was addressed to Elkin Mathews but had evidently been utilized by Pound. The stamp on the envelope is dated [May 4, 09] on the recto top of the envelope, "Pound Personae" is scrawled across the top in another hand. Recto: a translation of the poem copied from J. W. Mackails's translation, with one slight omission. See Select Epigrams from the Greek Anthology (London, Longman, Green & Co., 1906), p. 188. Verso: the poem in Greek cited as "Ptolemaeus". [Perhaps the inspiration to the epigraph of Exultations?]
