Wiki:

An epigram is a brief, clever, and usually memorable statement. Derived from the Greek: ????????? epigramma ""inscription"" from ?????????? epigraphein ""to write on - inscribe"", this literary device has been employed for over two millennia. The Greek tradition of epigrams began as poems inscribed on votive offerings at sanctuaries - including statues of athletes - and on funerary monuments, for example ""Go tell it to the Spartans, passer-by ..."".

Example:

Some learned writers have compared a Scorpion to an Epigram, because as the sting of the Scorpion lyeth in the tayl, so the force and virtue of an epigram is in the conclusion.
