Synesius, Eulogy of Baldness

Post by Helikwps »

Does anyone know where I can locate a full-text Greek version of Synesius's Eulogy of Baldness (a sophistic and very funny reply to Dio's Encomium to Hair)? Online would be ideal but print would be great too. What I see online and in the Loeb edition are excerpts. Any replies or suggestions *greatly* appreciated. Thanks!

φαλακρῶν μὲν ὁ κράτιστος εἶ, δοκεῖς δέ τις εἶναι
