42. μνημονεύει τοῦ ἐκπώματος καὶ Ἀντιφάνης ἐν Ὁμοίοις οὕτως

ὠς δ᾽ ἐδείπνησαν συνάψαι βούλομαι γὰρ τἀν μέσῳ
καὶ Διὸς σωτῆρος ἦλθε Θηρίκλειον ὄργανον,
τῆς τρυφερᾶς ἀπὸ Λέσβου σεμνοπόνου σταγόνος
πλῆρες, ἀφρίζον, ἕκαστος δεξιτερᾷ δ᾽ ἔλαβεν ...
καὶ Εὔβουλος ἐν μὲν Δόλωνι:

διένιψα δ᾽ οὐδὲν σκεῦος οὐδεπώποτε:
καθαρώτερον γὰρ τὸν κέραμον εἰργαζόμην
ἢ Θηρικλῆς τὰς κύλικας, ἡνίκ᾽ ἦν νέος. [p. 80]
ἐν δὲ Κυβευταῖς:

ἄρτι μὲν μάλ᾽ ἀνδρικὴν
τῶν θηρικλείων ὑπεραφρίζουσαν σορόν
κωθωνόχειλον,3 ψηφοπεριβομβήτριαν,
μέλαιναν, εὐκύκλωτον, ὀξυπύνδακα,4
στίλβουσαν, ἀνταυγοῦσαν, ἐκνενιμμένην,
κισσῷ κάρα βρύουσαν,5 ἐπικαλούμενοι
εἷλκον Διὸς σωτῆρος.
Ἀραρὼς δ᾽ ἢ Εὔβουλος ἐν Καμπυλίωνι:

ὦ γαῖα κεραμί, τίς σε Θηρικλῆς ποτε
ἔτευξε κοίλης λαγόνος εὐρύνας βάθος;
ἦ που κατειδὼς τὴν γυναικείαν φύσιν
ὡς οὐχὶ μικροῖς ἥδεται ποτηρίοις.
Ἄλεξις δ᾽ ἐν Ἱππεῖ:

καὶ θηρίκλειός τις κύλιξ, στέφανον κύκλῳ
ἔχουσα χρυσοῦν οὐ γὰρ ἐπίτηκτὸν τινα.
καὶ ἐν Ἱππίσκῳ.

μεστὴν ἀκράτου θηρίκλειον ἔσπασε
κοίλην ὑπερθύουσαν.
