Not eating hares or woodcocks, Nor mingling small fried loaves with cakes of sesame, Nor dipping attanitæ in honeycombs. There is also the creïum. This is a kind of cheesecake which, at Argos, is brought to the bridegroom from the bride; and it is roasted on the coals, and the friends of the bridegroom are invited to eat it; and it is served up with honey, as Philetas tells us in his Miscellanies. There is also the glycinas: this is a cheesecake in fashion among the Cretans, made, with sweet wine and oil, as Seleucus tells us in his Dialects. There is also the empeptas. The same author speaks of this as a cheesecake made of wheat, hollow and well-shaped, like those which are called κρηπῖδες; being rather a kind of paste into which they put those cheesecakes which are really made with cheese. 54. There are cakes, also, called ἐγκρίδες. These are cakes boiled in oil, and after that seasoned with honey; and they are mentioned by Stesichorus in the following lines:— Groats and encrides, And other cakes, and fresh sweet honey. Epicharmus, too, mentions them; and so does Nicophon, in his Handicraftsmen. And Aristophanes, in his Danaides, speaks of a man who made them in the following words:— And not be a seller of encrides (ἐγκριδοπώλης). And Pherecrates, in his Crapatalli, says— Let him take this, and then along the road Let him seize some encrides. There is the ἐπικύκλιος, too. This is a kind of cheesecake in use among the Syracusans, under this name; and it is mentioned by Epicharmus, in his Earth and Sea. There is also the γοῦρος; and that this, too, is a kind of cheesecake we learn from what Solon says in his Iambics:— Some spend their time in drinking, and eating cakes, And some eat bread, and others feast on γοῦροι Mingled with lentils; and there is no kind Of dainty wanting there, but all the fruits Which the rich earth brings forth as food for men Are present in abundance. There are also cribanæ; and κριβάνης is a name given by Alcman to some cheesecakes, as Apollodorus tells us. And Sosibius asserts the same thing, in the third book of his Essay on Alcman; and he says they are in shape like a breast, and that the Lacedæmonians use them at the banquets of women, and that the female friends of the bride, who follow her in a chorus, carry them about when they are going to sing an encomium which has been prepared in her honour. There is also the crimnites, which is a kind of cheesecake made of a coarser sort of barley-meal (κρίμνον), as Iatrocles tells us in his treatise on Cheesecakes. 55. Then there is the staitites; and this, too, is a species of cheesecake made of wheaten-flour and honey. Epicharmus mentions it in his Hebe's Wedding; but the wheaten-flour is wetted, and then put into a frying-pan; and after that honey is sprinkled over it, and sesame, and cheese; as Iatrocles tells us.
