Λεξιφάνης

ποτήρια δὲ ἔκειτο παντοῖα ἐπὶ τῆς¹ δελφίδος τραπέζης, ὁ κρυψιμέτωπος καὶ τρυήλης² Μεντορουργὴς εὐλαβῆ ἔχων τὴν κέρκον καὶ βομβυλιὸς καὶ δειροκύπελλον καὶ γηγενῆ πολλὰ οἷα Θηρικλῆς ὤπτα, εὐρυχαδῆ τε καὶ ἄλλα εὔστομα, τὰ μὲν Φωκαῆθεν, τὰ δὲ Κνιδόθεν, πάντα μέντοι ἀνεμοφόρητα καὶ ὑμενόστρακα. κυμβία δὲ ἦν καὶ φιαλίδες καὶ ποτήρια γραμματικά, ὥστε μεστὸν ἦν τὸ κυλικεῖον.

[7] Drinking-cups of all kinds stood on the dresser, your brow-hider, your Mentor-made¹ dipper with a convenient tail-piece, your gurgler, your longnecker, many “earth-borns” like what Thericles² used to bake, vessels both ventricose and patulous, some from Phocaeawards, other some from Cnidos way, all airy trifles,³ hymen-thin. There were also boats, chalices, and lettered mugs,⁴ so that the cupboard was full.

[7] On the dolphin-foot table stood divers store of cups; the eyeshutter, the ladle, slender-handled, genuine Mentor; crane-neck and gurgling bombyl; and many an earth-born child of Thericlean furnace, the wide-mouthed, the kindly-lipped; Phocaean, Cnidian work, but all light as air, and thin as eggshell; bowls and panntkins and posied cups; ob, ’twas a well-stocked sideboard.
