And in his Cerkios he says—
I'll make them redder than a roasted carid (καρῖδος).
And Eubulus says in his Grandmothers—
And carids (καρῖδες) of the humpback'd sort.
And Ophelion says in his Callæschrus—
There lay the crooked carids (καρῖδες) on dry ground.
And in his Ialemus we find—
And then they danced as crooked limbed carides (καρῖδες)
Dance on the glowing embers.
But Eupolis, in his Goats, uses the word with the penultima short, (καρῐ́ δες), thus—
Once in Phæacia I ate carides (καρίδες).
