58. Ἁρποκρατίων δὲ ὁ Μενδήσιος ἐν τῷ περὶ Πλακούντων τὴν παρ᾽ Ἀλεξανδρεῦσι καλουμένην παγκαρπίαν ... καλεῖ. 'ἴτρια δ᾽ ἐστὶ ταῦτα συντεθρυμμένα μετὰ μέλιτος ἑψόμενα: καὶ μετὰ τὴν ἕψησιν σφαιρηδὸν συντεθέντα περιδεῖται βύβλῳ λεπτῇ ἕνεκα τοῦ συμμένειν.

Πόλτου δὲ μνημονεύει Ἀλκμὰν οὕτως:


ἤδη παρέξει πυάνιόν τε πολτὸν
ὁ χίδρον τε λευκὸν κηρίναν τ᾽ ὀπώραν.
ἐστὶ δὲ τὸ πυάνιον, ὥς φησι Σωσίβιος, πανσπερμία ἐν γλυκεῖ ἡψημένη: χίδρον δὲ οἱ ἑφθοὶ πυροί. κηρίναν δὲ ὀπώραν λέγει τὸ μέλι. καὶ Ἐπίχαρμος δὲ οὕτως λέγει ἐν Γῇ καὶ Θαλάσσῃ:

πολτὸν ἕψειν ὄρθριον.
καὶ τῶν καλουμένων δὲ μελικηρίδων μνημονεύει Φερεκράτης ἐν Αὐτομόλοις οὕτως : [p. 502]

ὥσπερ τῶν αἰγιδίων ὄζειν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος μελικήρας.
