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;— Besides all this you now shall have A slice of tunny, a slice of pork, Some paunch of kid, some liver of goat, Some ram, the entrails of an ox, A lamb's head, and a kid's intestines; The belly of a hare, a pudding, 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.
