But Pherecrates calls it a cotylisca, in his Corianno, saying—
The cotylisca? By no means.
And Aristophanes, in his Acharnians, uses a still more diminutive form, and says—
A cotyliscium (κοτυλίσκιον) with a broken lip.
And even the hollow of the hip is called κοτύλη; and the excrescences on the feelers of the polypus are, by a slight extension of the word, called κοτυληδών. And Æschylus, in his Edonians, has called cymbals also κότυλαι, saying—
And he makes music with his brazen κότυλαι.
But Marsyas says that the bone of the hip is also called ἄλεισον and κύλιξ. And the sacred bowl of Bacchus is called κοτυλίσκος; and so are those goblets which the initiated use for their libations; as Nicander of Thyatira says, adducing the following passage from the Clouds of Aristophanes:—
Nor will I crown the cotyliscus.
And Simmias interprets the word κοτύλη by ἄλεισον.
