Deipnosophistae

Athenaeus of Naucratis

Athenaeus. The Deipnosophists or Banquet Of The Learned Of Athenaeus. Yonge, Charles Duke, translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.

So now, having given you, O Timocrates, the whole of the conversation which took place among the Deipnosophists on the subject of fish, we may conclude our book here; and unless you want some other kind of food, we will end by setting before you what Eubulus has said in his Lacedæmonians, or Leda;—

  1. Besides all this you now shall have
  2. A slice of tunny, a slice of pork,
  3. Some paunch of kid, some liver of goat,
  4. Some ram, the entrails of an ox,
  5. A lamb's head, and a kid's intestines;
  6. The belly of a hare, a pudding,
  7. Some tripe, black-puddings, and a sausage.
Being sated, therefore, with all this, let us now take due care of our bodies, in order to be able to feed comfortably on what is coming next.
