One having[1] pastry horns in imitation of the first phase moon. They used to call this an ox and set it up as the seventh, because this seventh used to be one of the sacrifices at the six moons, as Euthycles [says] in Atalanta.[2] Likewise also the "moons" [are] broad pastry circles, which they also used to call thus. It is [mentioned] in Euripides in Erechtheus[3] and in Achaeus in Iris.[4] The proverb is applied to those who are excessively unfeeling.
Also [sc. attested is the proverbial phrase] "sea ox" [bous enalios], in reference to people/things that serve no purpose.[5]
