And Menander calls a man who is useless, and who lives to no purpose, σιτόκουρος, in his Thrasyleon, saying—
A lazy ever-procrastinating fellow,
A σιτόκουρος, miserable, useless,
Owning himself a burden on the earth.
And in his Venal People he says—
Wretch, you were standing at the door the while,
Having laid down your burden; while, for us,
We took the wretched σιτόκουρος in.
And Crobylus used the word αὐτόσιτος (bringing one's own provisions), in The Man hanged—
A parasite αὐτόσιτος, feeding himself,
You do contribute much to aid your master.
And Eubulus has the word κακόσιτος (eating badly, having no appetite), in his Ganymede—
Sleep nourishes him since he's no appetite (κακόσιτος).
And the word ὀλιγόσιτος (a sparing eater) occurs in Phrynichus, in his The solitary Man—
What does that sparing eater (ὀλιγόσιτος) Hercules there?
