And Simaristus, in the third book of his Synonymes, writes thus: "The flesh of the loins which stands out on each side s called ψύαι, and the hollows on each side they call κύβοι and γάλλιαι." And Clearchus, in the second book of his treatise on The Joints in the Human Body, speaks thus: "There is flesh full of muscle on each side; which some people call ψύαι, and others call ἀλώπεκες, and others νευρόμητραι." And the admirable Hippocrates also speaks of ψύαι; and they get this name from being easily wiped (ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥαδίως ἀποψᾶσθαι), or as being flesh lightly touching (ἐπιψαύουσα) the bones, and lying lightly on the surface of them. And Euphron the comic poet mentions them in his Theori— There is a lobe and parts, too, called ψύαι; Learn to cut these before you view the sacrifice. 60. There is a dish too made of udder. Teleclides, in his Rigid Men, says— Since I'm a female, I must have an udder. Herodotus, in the fourth book of his History, uses the same term when speaking of horses; but it is rare to find the word (οὖθαρ) applied to the other animals; but the word most commonly used is ὑπογάστριον, as in the case of fishes. Strattis, in his Atalanta, says— The ὑπογάστριον and the extremities Of the large tunny. And Theopompus, in his Callæschrus, says— _A._ And th' ὑπογάστρια of fish. _B._ O, Ceres! But in the Sirens he calls it not ὑπογάστρια, but ὑπήτρια, saying— Th' ὑπήτρια of white Sicilian tunnies. 61. We must now speak of the hare; concerning this animal Archestratus, that author so curious in his dishes, speaks thus— Many are the ways and many the recipes For dressing hares; but this is best of all, To place before a hungry set of guests, A slice of roasted meat fresh from the spit, Hot, season'd only with plain simple salt, Not too much done. And do not you be vex'd At seeing blood fresh trickling from the meat, But eat it eagerly. All other ways Are quite superfluous, such as when cooks pour A lot of sticky clammy sauce upon it, Parings of cheese, and lees, and dregs of oil, As if they were preparing cat's meat. And Naucrates the comic poet, in his Persia, says that it is an uncommon thing to find a hare in Attica: and he speaks thus— For who in rocky Attica e'er saw A lion or any other similar beast, Where 'tis not easy e'en to find a hare? But Alcæus, in his Callisto, speaks of hares as being plentiful, and says— You should have coriander seed so fine That, when we've got some hares, we may be able To sprinkle them with that small seed and salt. 62. And Tryphon says,—"Aristophanes, in his Danaides, uses the form λαγὼν in the accusative case with an acute accent on the last syllable, and with a ν for the final letter, saying— And when he starts perhaps he may be able To help us catch a hare (λαγών). And in his Daitaleis he says— I am undone, I shall be surely seen Plucking the fur from off the hare (λαγών).
