(Since when the Milesians betrayed us, I have never seen even an eight-inch _olisbos_, that would have been a leathern succour for us.) _Suidas_, s. v. ὄλισβος· αἰδοῖον δερμάτινον, ᾧ ἐχρῶντο αἱ μιλήσιαι γυναῖκες, ὡς _τριβάδες_, καὶ αἰσχρουργοί. ἐχρῶντο καὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ αἱ χῆραι γυναῖκες.—s. v. μισήτης· μισῆται δὲ γυναῖκες ὀλίσβῳ χρήσονται. (under the word ὄλισβος: a member of leather; which the Milesian women used, such as _tribades_ and bad women. They were used by widows also.—under the word μισήτης (lewd person): and lewd women will use the _olisbos_.) Comp. the Scholiast to the passage of Aristophanes quoted. There were also cakes shaped like an _olisbos_ and called ὀλισβόκολλοξ (_olisbos_-loaves)—_Hesychius_, which remind us of the cakes in the shape of a penis that were sold in Italy at the feast of SS. Cosmus and Damian. (see _Knight_, loco citato p. 62.) [327] _Longao_ or _Longano_ signifies the rectum—straight gut, the large intestine, the _longus anus_, prolonged anus, as it were. The word is found frequently in _Caelius Aurelianus_ and in _Vegetius_, De re veterin. (On Veterinary medicine). II. 14., 21., 28. IV. 8. Since the large intestine was used for sausages (_Apicius_. De re coq.) (On Cookery, Bk. IV. ch. 2.), the sausage was also called _longano_ or _longavo_. _Varro_, De ling. lat. V. 111. [328] We have not been able to ascertain whether the Fragment here quoted is extant in Greek as well, for the Fragments of Parmenides, by G. G. _Fülleborn_. Züllichau 1795. 8vo. were as inaccessible by us as were _Brandis’_ Commentationes Eleaticae. [329] Physiognomicon ch. 3., in Scriptores Physiognomiae veteres (Ancient Writers on Physiognomy), edit. _J. G. Fr. Franzius_. Altenburg 1780 large 8vo., p, 51., _Κιναίδου σημεῖα_, ὄμμα κατακεκλασμένον, γονύκροτος, ἐγκίσεις τῆς κεφαλῆς εἰς τὰ δεξιά· αἱ φοραὶ τῶν χειρῶν ὑπτίαι καὶ ἔκλυτοι, καὶ βαδέσεις διτταὶ, ἡ μὲν περινεύοντος, ἡ δὲ κρατοῦντος, τὴν ὀσφύν, καὶ τῶν ὀμμάτων περιβλέψεις· οἷος ἂν εἴη Διονύσιος ὁ σοφιστής. (for translation see text above). On p. 77. γονύκροτος (knock-kneed) is laid down as a characteristic of a woman. On p. 155 we read, οἱ ἐγκλινόμενοι εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι, κίναιδοι. (those who bend to the right in walking are cinaedi.); on p. 50. καὶ ἰσχνὰ ὄμματα κατακεκλασμένα—ἅμα δὲ καὶ τὰ κεκλασμένα τῶν ὀμμάτων, δύο σημαίνει, τὸ μὲν μαλακὸν καὶ θῆλυ. (and withered, broken-down looking eyes,—and this broken-down appearance of the eyes denotes two things, the one being softness and effeminacy). _Clement of Alexandria_, Paedagog. bk. III. ch. 11., οὐδὲ κατακεκλασμένος, πλάγιον ποιήσας τὸν τράχηλον, περιπατεῖν ὥσπερ ἑτέρους ὁρῶ κιναίδους ἐνθάδε πολλοὺς ἄστει. (nor yet with broken-down look, bending the neck askance, to walk about as I see others do here, cinaedi,—yea, many of them in the city).
