Headword:
*)elath/r
Adler number: epsilon,750
Translated headword: broad-cake
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] a flat pastry like a cake; hence its name [
e)lath/r], from being driven [
e)lau/nesqai] with the hands into flatness. Or a hollow loaf of bread, in which they used to put the bean soup and bring it to the altars.[1]
"You will know
Alkman, an exceptional player of the Laconian lyre, whom the number of the nine Muses includes."[2]
There are also flattish [cakes] [
lagarw/deis] [sc. so named] from
lagaro/n ["hollow"]. And [sc. they are called]
pe/lanoi in
Euripides.[3]
Also [sc. attested is the genitive]
e)lath=ros, [meaning] a kind of unleavened cake. But
Euripides [refers to]
pepta/ ["cookies"].[4]
