Greek display:    

Headword: *lastauroka/kkabon
Adler number: lambda,140
Translated headword: lastaurokakkabon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
It is a particular food mentioned in Chrysippus, in his [treatise] On the Fine and Pleasurable; its preparation would be rather troublesome.
Greek Original:
*lastauroka/kkabon: brw=ma/ ti e)sti para\ *xrusi/ppw| ei)rhme/non, e)n tw=| *peri\ kalou= kai\ h(donh=s: w(s a)\n th=s kataskeuh=s au)tou= ou)/shs periergote/ras.
Notes:
Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.9C [1.15 Kaibel]. For Chrysippus see generally chi 568, chi 569
This compound term for an aphrodisiac foodstuff defies translation, but for the first of its components (implying effeminacy) see lambda 141; and the second is "partridge" (associated with salaciousness in Athenaeus and elsewhere).
Keywords: definition; ethics; food; gender and sexuality; philosophy; zoology
