Notes
- Entry lacking, Adler reports, in ms F.
The headword, evidently neuter plural, is attested only here;kapu/ria however appears in a third century CE papyrus (POxy 1655.3). These words are possibly variants forkapuri/dia , which is mentioned in a quotation from the cookbook author Chrysippus of Tyana in Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 3.113D [3.79 Kaibel].
From the gloss here, it seems that the spellingkaph/ria might be foreign in usage or origin; the two forms given here would have been pronounced the same in later Greek.
