Note:
A dream interpretation (or perhaps two separate interpretations) in the form of proverb-like sentiments cast in iambic verse, the latter playing upon on the similarity of the words for milk, γάλα , and mild, γαληνῶν . Presumably from the collection of verse dream-interpretations ascribed to Astra(m)psychus.
