Rome -- History -- Flavians, 69-96 -- Fiction
[389] PERIPATETICS (wanderers.) A name given to Aristotles’ school
of philosophers, from its founder’s habit of delivering his
lectures, not seated, but walking about.
[390] CABBAGE SPROUTS. In the spring the young cabbage shoots
(_cimae, prototomi_) were eaten, in the summer and autumn the
larger stalks (_caules cauliculi_) see Mart. _Ep._ V. 78.
[391] CYBIUM (κύβιον). A sort of mayonnaise made of salt tunny-fish,
cut into squares. See Mart. _Ep._ V. 78, where the sliced eggs
are not lacking. There were two kinds of leek (porrum:) _porrum
sectile_ (chives) and _porrum capitatum_.
