"Τῇδε τὸν ἐκ Μελίτης ἀργὸν κύνα φησὶν ὁ πέτρος ἴσχειν, Εὐμήλου πιστότατον φύλακα. Ταῦρόν μιν καλέεσκον, ὅτ᾿ ἦν ἔτι· νῦν δὲ τὸ κείνου φθέγμα σιωπηραὶ νυκτὸς ἔχουσιν ὁδοί."

Tymnes was an epigrammatic poet, whose epigrams were included in the Garland of Meleager, but respecting whose exact date we have no further evidence; for the grounds on which Reiske supposes that he was a Cretan, and that he was contemporary with Meleager, are very slight. There are seven of his epigrams in the Greek Anthology.
