And the verb occurs also in the same poet, for he says οἰνοποτάζων. And Sappho, in her second Ode, says—
And many countless cups (ποτήρια), O beauteous Iphis.
And Alcæus says—
And from the cups (ποτηρία) . . . . . .
And in Achaia Ceres is honoured under the title of Δημήτηρ ποτηριοφόρος, in the territories of the Antheans, as Autocrates informs us in the second book of his History of Achaia.
CUPS.
3. And I think it right that you should inquire, before we begin to make a catalogue of the cups of which this sideboard (κυλικεῖον) is full,—(for that name is given to the cupboard where the cups are kept, by Aristophanes, in his Farmers—
As a cloth is placed in front of a sideboard (κυλικεῖον);
and the same word occurs also in Anaxandrides in his Melilotus; and Eubulus in his Leda says—
As if he had been offering a libation,
He's broken all the goblets in the sideboard (κυλικεῖον).
