Wishing to eat τὸν δέλφακα.
And Cratinus, in his Ulysses, has the expression—
Large pigs (δέλφακας μεγάλους).
But Nicochares uses the word as feminine, saying—
A pregnant sow (κύουσαν δέλφακα);
And Eupolis, in his Golden Age, says—
Did he not serve up at the feast a sucking-pig (δέλφακα),
Whose teeth were not yet grown, a beautiful beast (καλήν)?
And Plato, in his Io, says—
Bring hither now the head of the sucking-pig (τῆς δέλφακος).
