Then we have the lesbium. This also is a kind of cup, as Hedylus proves in his Epigrams, where he says— Callistion, contending against men In drinking, ('tis a marvellous thing, but true,) When fasting, drank three whole choeis of wine; And now her cup, fashion'd of purple glass, Adorn'd with bands fragrant of luscious wine, She offers here to you, O Paphian queen. Preserve this first, that so your walls may bear The spoils of all the love excited so.

There is also the luterium. Epigenes, in his Tomb, where he gives a catalogue of cups of different kinds, says— Craters, cadi, holcia, cruneia— Are they cruneia? aye, and luteria. But why need I each separate article Enumerate? for you yourself shall see them.
