(using here the diminutive form,)
and take instead
The larger goblets; and the old woman lead
Straight to the cup; . . . the younger maiden . . . .
. . . . . . . fill it; have your oar
All ready, loose the cables, bend the sails.
Among the Cyprians there is also a kind of cup called the aotus, as Pamphilus tells us: and Philetas says, this is a cup which has no ears (ὤτους).
There is also a kind of cup called aroclum, which is mentioned by Nicander the Colophonian.
24. The cup called ἄλεισον, is the same as that called δέπας. Homer, in his Odyssey, speaking of Pisistratus, says—
In a rich golden cup he pour'd the wine;[59]
and proceeding, he says, in the same manner—
To each a portion of the feast he bore,
And held the golden goblet (ἄλεισον) foaming o'er;
and presently afterwards he says—
And gave the goblet (δέπας) to Ulysses' son.
