There are a couple of possibilities:
1 Cor 15:33 contains an u ncredited citation of Menander's _Thais_ (a
famous hetaira). Titus 1:12 has a citation (also uncredited) of Epimenides
_de oraculis_.
Also fascinating is the wonderful line in dactyllic hexamenter that opens
up James 1:17. Is it a citation of an otherwise unknown poetic line? nescio
et dubito; sed possibile est. = "I don't know and doubt it; but it is
possible.
