Fragment 154
154Athenaeus says:—
‘The βάρωμος [baromos] and σάρβιτος [sarbĭtos], both of which are mentioned by Sappho and Anacreon, and the Magădis and the Triangles and the Sambūcae, are all ancient instruments.’
Athenaeus in another place, apparently more correctly, gives the name of the first as βάρμος [barmos].
What these instruments precisely were is unknown. Cf. p. 46.
