Θεαρίων: and the followingnamed persons are sometimes mentioned by later authors, Μίθαικος for example, among those whom Athenaeus xii. 12 cites as authors of works on cookery (τὰ ὀψαρτυτικά). The title of his work can be surmised from this passage. That the art of cookery, especially in rich and proud Syracuse, was early developed, Plato testifies in Rep. iii. 404 d Συρακοσίαν τράπεζαν καὶ Σικελικὴν ποικιλίαν <*>῎ψου. Cf. Hor. Od. iii. I. 18 Siculae dapes. The ἀρτοκόπος is at the same time a cake-baker. The ἄρτος made from wheat meal was a festival dainty, as is to be judged from Athenaeus iv. 14 Σόλων δὲ τοῖς ἐν πρυτανείῳ σιτουμένοις μᾶζαν παρέχειν κελεύει, ἄρτον δὲ ταῖς ἑορταῖς προσπαρατιθέναι. Sarambus probably had a wine-shop.
