Callistion, contending against men In drinking, ('tis a marvellous thing, but true,) When fasting, drank three whole choeis of wine; And now her cup, fashion'd of purple glass, Adorn'd with bands fragrant of luscious wine, She offers here to you, O Paphian queen. Preserve this first, that so your walls may bear The spoils of all the love excited so. There is also the luterium. Epigenes, in his Tomb, where he gives a catalogue of cups of different kinds, says— Crateres, cadi, holcia, cruneia— Are they cruneia? aye, and luteria. But why need I each separate article Enumerate? for you yourself shall see them. 72. There is also the Lyciurges. The things which are so called are some kinds of phialæ, which derive their name from Lycon who made them, just as the Cononii are the cups made by Conon. Now, Demosthenes, in his Oration for the Crown, mentions Lycon; and he does so again, in his oration against Timotheus for an assault, where he says—"Two lyciurgeis phialæ." And in his speech against Timotheus he also says—"He gives Phormion, with the money, also two lyciurgeis phialæ to put away." And Didymus the grammarian says that these are cups made by Lycius. And this Lycius was a Bœotian by birth, of the town of Eleutheræ, a son of Myron the sculptor, as Polemo relates in the first book of his treatise on the Acropolis of Athens; but the grammarian is ignorant that one could never find such a formation of a word as that derived from proper names, but only from cities or nations. For Aristophanes, in his Peace, says— The vessel is a Nαξιονργὴς cantharus; that is to say, made at Naxos. And Critias, in his Constitution of the Lacedæmonians, has the expressions, κλίνη μιλησιουργὴς, and again, δίφρος λησιουργής: and κλινὴ χιουργὴς, and τράπεξα ρηνιοεργής: made at Miletus, or Chios, or Rhenea. And Herodotus, in his seventh book, speaks of "two spears, λυκοεργέες." But perhaps we ought to read λυκιοεργέες in Herodotus as we do in Demosthenes, so as to understand by the word things made in Lycia. 73. There is also the mele. This is a name given to some cups which are mentioned by Anaxippus in his Well, where he says— And you, Syriscus, now this mele take, And bring it to her tomb—do you understand? Then pour a due libation. There is also the metaniptrum. This is the kind of cup which is offered after dinner, when men have washed their hands. Antiphanes, in his Lamp, says— The metaniptrum of the Fortunate God; Feasting, libations, and applause . . . [Sidenote: DRINKING-CUPS.] And Diphilus, in his Sappho, says— Archilochus, receive this metaniptris, The brimming cup of Jupiter the Saviour. But some people say that this is rather the name of the draught itself which was given to the guests after they had washed their hands; as, for instance, Seleucus says in his Dialects. But Callias, in his Cyclops, says— Receive this metaniptris of Hygeia. And Philetærus, in his Æsculapius, says—
