\section{Gell-Mann matrices}
If we take the Pauli Matrices \begin{equation}
\sigma_1=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\
\sigma_2=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -i \\ i & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\
\sigma_3=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
and perform the same row column additions as were made to $\epsilon_{ij}$ to get $\epsilon_{ijk}$ we have \begin{equation}
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_6\\
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_4\\
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_1\\
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & i \\ -i & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -i \\ 0 & i & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_7\\
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & i \\ -i & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & -i \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ i & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_5\\
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & i \\ -i & 0 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -i & 0 \\ i & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_2\\
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=\lambda_3\\
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=A\\
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \to
\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=B\\
\end{equation}
Here $A+B+\lambda_3=\lambda_8$ where $\lambda_i$ are the Gell-Mann matrices.
