Then every soul of them sat open-mouth'd,
Like roasted oysters gaping in a row. —J. H. Frere.
Archestratus. (Book iii. § 44, p. 154.)
For mussels you must go to Ænos; oysters
You'll find best at Abydos. Parion
Rejoices in its urchins; but if cockles
Gigantic and sweet-tasted you would eat,
A voyage must be made to Mitylene,
Or the Ambracian Gulf, where they abound
