Also Peace 883-885.: ΤΡ. τίς; ΟΙΚ. ὅστις; Ἀριφράδης, ἄγειν παρ’ αὑτὸν ἀντιβολῶν. ΤΡ. Ἀλλ', ὦ μέλε, τὸν ζωμὸν αὐτῆς προσπεσὼν ἐκλάψεται. (_Trygaeus._ Who? _Servant._ Who? why Ariphrades, begging to bring her to him. _Trygaeus._ But, dear man, he will fall on her, and lick up her broth). [96] _Anthologia Graeca_, cum versione Latina _Hugonis Grotii_, edita ab H. de Bosch (_Greek Anthology_, with Latin version by _Hugo Grotius_, edit. H. de Bosch) Utrecht 1795. 4to., Vol. I. p. 38. bk. II. Tit. 5. Epigr. 9. _Brunck’s_ Analecta, Vol. III. p. 165. Epigr. 76. Here too should be quoted the following Epigram (_Brunck’s_ Analecta, Vol. II. p. 386. Anthology, bk. II. Tit. 5. Epigr. 8.) of _Ammianus_, which at the same time speaks for the general meaning of _licking_: Οὐχ ὅτι τὸν κάλαμον λείχεις, διὰ τοῦτό σε μισῶ, Ἀλλ’ ὅτι τοῦτο ποιεῖς καὶ δίχα τοῦ καλάμου. (Not because you lick the _reed_, not for this do I abominate you; but because you do so even without the reed). _Ausonius_, Epigr. 126., endeavours in another way, by initial letters, to indicate λείχει (he licks): Λαῒς, Ἔρως, et Ἴτυς, Χείρων et Ἔρως, Ἴτυς alter Nomina siscribis, prima elementa adime: Ut facias verbum, quod tu facis, Eune magister: Dicere me Latium non decet opprobrium. (Λαῒς, Ἔρως, and Ἴτυς, Χείρων and Ἔρως, Ἴτυς repeated,—if you write these names, then take off the first letters, you make a verb with them that means what you do, learned Eunus; it does not become me to name the abomination nation in Latian speech). At the same time we see from this that in the IVth. Century, where _Ausonius_ lived at Bordeaux, the vice of the _cunnilingue_ was still constantly practised and that not even in secret. Should the words of _Clement of Alexandria_, Paedagog. II. ch. 8. p. 178., also be brought into connection with this: ἡ δὲ ἐπιτήδευσις τῆς εὐωδίας, δελεάρ ἐστι ῥαθυμίας, πόῤῥωθεν _εἰς λίχνον_ ἐπιθυμίον ἐπισπωμένης. (And the cultivation of sweet perfume is a bait of idleness, indirectly alluring to dainty voluptuousness)? The _male olere_ (to have an evil smell) held good equally for the _cunnilingue_. _Diogenes Laertius_, V. 65., quotes verses of _Crates_, where we read: οὔτε _λίχνος_, πόρνης ἐπαγγελλόμενος παρῇσι (nor dainty desire, proclaimed on the cheeks of a harlot); the same occur also in _Clement of Alexandria_, loco citato ch. 10. Finally yet another quotation, from _Martial_ (XI. 59.), should come in here; he says to a pathic: At tibi nil faciam: sed lota mentula laeva λειχάζειν cupidae dicet avaritiae,
