Notes:
Comment on Genesis 18.6 LXX (Abraham bids Sarah make bread for the visiting angels); again at sigma 218. Adler does not identify the source, but it is identifiable via the TLG as John of Damascus, Homilia in sabbatum sanctum PG 96.624.
See also Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 3.110B (3.74 Kaibel), who writes of o( par' *)Attikoi=s e)gkrufi/as, i.e. 'in Attic writers' (though Gulick in the Loeb edition renders the phrase 'of the Athenians'). He also says that 'Alexandrians' had such bread, provided for all-comers in 'the temple of Kronos'.
