Translation:
A proper name.[1] "Iortios not being able to express the marvel for himself, when silence fell, [said], 'Do you not see that, my dear drinking-companions, how the table is round and very circular?' So at such sheer flattery, as was likely, laughter broke out. For Maecenas' table was right-angled and not round. Plutarch [says this]."[2]
