And Crates says, in his Beasts—
And you must boil some greens, and roast some fish,
And pickled fish likewise, (τοὺς ταρίχους,) and keep your hands
From doing any injury to us.
But the noun is formed in a very singular manner by Hermippus, in his Female Bread-Sellers—
And fat pickled fish (τάριχος πίονα).
And Sophocles says, in his Phineus—
A pickled corpse (νεκρὸς τάριχος) Egyptian to behold.
Aristophanes has also treated us to a diminutive form of the word, in his Peace—
Bring us some good ταρίχιον to the fields
And Cephisodorus says, in his Pig—
Some middling meat, or some ταρίχιον.
