τὰς γλώττας· εἴρηται δὲ καὶ τὸ _γυναικεῖον αἰδοῖον_ ὑπὸ Εὐβούλου _φοινικιστὴν_ σκώπτοντος· (γλωττοκομεῖον, tongue-hole, place in which fluteplayers insert their tongues); _the female privates_ also called so by Eubulus, making a scoff at the φοινικιστὴς,—_cunnilingue_). The _Etymologicum Magnum_ further has as synonyms for _cunnilingere_: _γλωττοστροφεῖν_, περιλαλεῖν καὶ στωμύλλεσθαι· _γλωττοδεψεῖν_, αἰσχρουργεῖν (_to ply the tongue_: to talk excessively, to babble; _to work or soften with the tongue_: to do obscenely), and for _cunnilingus_, _γλώσσαργον_, στόμαργον (_tongue-busy_: mouth-busy). [74] _Hippocrates_, περὶ παθῶν, edit. Kühn Vol. II. p. 409. It is true this Work is reckoned among the spurious ones, and _Galen_ (Vol. XI. p. 63.) ascribes it to _Polybius_. [75] _Aristophanes_, Acharnians 271. Πολλῷ γὰρ ἐσθ’ ἥδιον, ὦ Φαλῆς Φαλῆς κλέπτουσαν εὑρόνθ’ ὡρικὴν ὑληφόρον, τὴν Στρυμοδώρου Θρᾷτταν ἐκ τοῦ Φελλέως, μέσην λαβόντ’ ἄραντα, καταβαλόντα καταγιγαρτίσαι· (For ’tis much pleasanter, Phales, Phales! when you have found a blooming woodcutter girl filching wood, say Strymodorus’ Thracian maid from Phelleus, to take her round the middle and lift her up and throw her down and take the kernel right away),—where perhaps we should read Στυμοδώρου for Στρυμοδώρου. Knights 1284., Τὴν γὰρ αὐτοῦ γλῶτταν αἰρχραῖς ἡδοναῖς λυμαίνεται, ἐν κασαυρίοισι _λείχων_ τὸν ἀπόπτυστον δρόσον, καὶ μολύνων τὴν ὑπήνην, καὶ κυκῶν τὰς ἐσχάρας. (For he pollutes his own tongue with foul delights, in the stews licking up the abominable dew, defiling the hair on the upper lip, and tumbling the girls’ _nymphae_). Peace 885., Τὸν _ζῶμον_ αὐτῆς προσπεσὼν ἐκλάψεται. (Falling upon her he will suck up _her broth_). [76] _Juvenal_, Satir. VI. 455.: Nec curanda viris Opicae castigat amicae Verba Soloecismum liceat fecisse marito. (And rebukes the expressions of her clownish (Opican) friend, things not worth men’s notice. Surely a husband should be allowed to make a solecism). [77] _Martial_, bk. I. Epigr. 78., Pulchre valet Charinus, et tamen pallet. Parce bibit Charinus, et tamen pallet. Bene concoquit Charinus, et tamen pallet. Sole utitur Charinus, et tamen pallet. Tingit cutem Charinus, et tamen pallet. _Cunnum Charinus lingit, et tamen pallet._ (Charinus is in excellent health, and yet he is pale. Charinus drinks moderately, and yet he is pale. Charinus digests well, yet he is pale. Charinus takes the sun, yet he is pale. Charinus dyes his skin, yet he is pale. _Charinus licks a woman’s organ, yet he is pale)._ [78] _Martial_, bk. XI. Epigr. 86. As to this Zoilus see _Martial_, bk. XI. Epigr. 61. [79] _Martial_, Bk. III. Epigr. 61. [80] _Greek Anthology_ bk. II. Tit. 13.
