κ1207

Καὶ τάχα ἴμεν

κ2318Κράμβηcabbage… wine, from Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.34C-E (1.62 Kaibel). Athenaeus also cites Timaeus as reporting that the Sybarites ate cabbage before drinking, because it would make wine "dimmer", and adds support from Alexis and Eubulus (referring …Matched in noteshighmedium
