Ἐς Κυνόσαργες

As if [into] Kynosarkes; [sc. so named] from the incident when, after a lavish sacrifice, a dog went in and snatched the meat from the offering and took it away.¹ A temple was established there too; and bastards used to be judged there, [to see in each case] whether he was truly the son of the man present.² The Athenians used to call freedmen, too, bastards.³ See [the entry] ei)s *kuno/sarges, for something clearer.
