[Meaning something] sweet, beautiful, fragrant.1 [Also] in reference to the "nectarous robe."2 And ne/ktar ["nectar"], the drink of the gods, and wine similarly, as Anaxandrides [writes]. Also the food of the gods: the same [writer uses it].3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Νεκτάρεον· ἡδύ, καλόν, εὐῶδες. ἐπὶ τοῦ νεκταρέου ἑανοῦ. καὶ νέκταρ, θεῶν πόμα, καὶ οἶνος οὕτως, ὡς Ἀναξανδρίδης. καὶ τὸ βρῶμα τῶν θεῶν· ὁ αὐτός.
