Book 1
14
For bards make offerings which give no smoke.
14
The ancients had a word, μονοφαγεῖν, applied to those who eat alone. And so Antiphanes says:—
14
But if you sulk, μονοφαγῶν,
14
Why must I, too, eat alone?
14
And Ameipsias says:—
14
And if she's a μονοφάγος, plague take her,
14
I'd guard against her as a base housebreaker.
