Abstract
This short note focuses on an epigram of the Anthologia Palatina written by Agathias Scholasticus (AP V 302). In so far as it is a literary variation of the VI century AD, the last two lines of this text cannot be considered stricto sensu as an evidence of Diogenes of Sinope’s gesture, but as an interesting but neglected testimony of the Diogenian practice of masturbation. The epigram has to be considered as an addendum to Giannantoni’s edition of Diogenes’ testimonies.
