περὶ δὲ τῶν ἐπαίκλων Περσαῖος ἐν τῇ Λακωνικῇ πολιτείᾳ οὑτωσὶ
γράφει ῾FHG II 623':' ‘καὶ εὐθὺς τοὺς μὲν εὐπόρους
ζημιοῖ εἰς ἐπάικλα: ταῦτα δέ ἐστιν μετὰ δεῖπνον τραγήματα: τοῖς δ᾽ ἀπόροις ἐπιτάττει κάλαμον ἢ στιβάδα
ἢ φύλλα δάφνης φέρειν, ὅπως ἔχωσι τὰ ἐπάικλα κάπτειν μετὰ δεῖπνον: γίνεται γὰρ ἄλφιτα ἐλαίῳ ἐρραμένα. τὸ δ᾽ ὅλον ὥσπερ πολίτευμά τι τοῦτο δὴ συνίσταται μικρόν. καὶ γὰρ ὅντινα δεῖ πρῶτον κατακεῖσθαι
ἢ δεύτερον ἢ ἐπὶ τοῦ σκιμποδίου καθῆσθαι, πάντα
τοιαῦτα ποιοῦσιν εἰς ἐπάικλα.' τὰ ὅμοια ἱστορεῖ καὶ
Διοσκουρίδης. περὶ δὲ τῶν καμματίδων καὶ τῶν
καμμάτων Νικοκλῆς οὕτως γράφει ῾v. s':' ‘διακούσας
δὲ πάντων ὁ ἔφορος ἤτοι ἀπέλυσεν ἢ κατεδίκασεν. ὁ
δὲ νικήσας ἐζημίωσεν ἐλαφρῶς ἤτοι κάμμασιν ἢ καμματίσιν. ἐστὶ δὲ τὰ μὲν κάμματα ψαιστά, αἱ δὲ καμματίδες αἷς κάπτουσι τὰ ψαιστά.'
