This article extends Peter Bing’s approach to epigrams that are framed within epigrams; it suggests that a similar dichotomy of absorption and opposition can be operative between epigrammatic frame and embedded ‘inscription’. To illustrate this literary technique and (some of ) its functions, three cases studies are presented. The article also briefly discusses pre-Hellenistic inscriptional examples of epigrammatic framing and asks whether the refinements of this technique as found in literary epigrams were in turn adopted by composers of inscribed epigrams.
