Palladas (flourished 4th century AD) was a Greek poet, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt. All that is known about this poet has been deduced from his 151 epigrams preserved in the Anthologia Graeca a collection of poems, mostly epigrams, that span the classical and Byzantine periods of Greek literature. Most of the material of the Greek Anthology comes from two manuscripts, the Palatine Anthology of the 10th century and the Anthology of Planudes (or Planudean Anthology) of the 14th century.

An Epigram Written by Palladas of Alexandria,4th Century AD
So,Miser Moneybags,youre loaded?So? You'll never take it with you when you go.
You've made your pile,but squandered time.Grown old you can't gloat over age like hoared gold.
