Greek original · Adler’s text

Ξανθίζετε· οἷον τῷ μέλιτι χρωΐζετε, ἢ πυρρὰ τῇ ὀπτήσει ποιεῖτε. ἡ γὰρ καλῶς ἔχουσα ὄπτησις τῶν κρεῶν ἐστιν, ἵνα πυρρὰ ᾖ.

From the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 1047, where this second-person plural imperative occurs: "roast this and xanthizete it nicely" (web address 1); LSJ entry at web address 2.
For xanthos see under xi 3; for the verb, see xi 5.
