Greek Anthology 6.101.1 (Philip), the old cook Timasion dedicates culinary tools to Hephaestus (
eta 661); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 306-309), (vol. II, 341), and further excerpts at
epsilon 3243,
zeta 135,
kappa 2361, and
rho 181. As Gow notes (63-64), cooks were often recruited for butchering animals, but calling his cutting implements "swords" is pretentious on Timasion's part (cf. Gow and Page, vol. II, 341).
