κάδος. Σιμμίας ποτήριον, παρατιθέμενος Ἀνακρέοντος: [p. 86]


ἠρίστησα μὲν ἰτρίου λεπτοῦ μικρὸν ἀποκλάς,
οἴνου δ᾽ ἐξέπιον κάδον.
Ἐπιγένης δ᾽ ἐν Μνηματίῳ φησίν

κρατῆρες, κάδοι,
ὁλκεῖα, κρουνεῖ᾽. β. ἔστι γὰρ κρουνεῖα; α. ναί2
λουτήρι᾽ ἀλλὰ τί καθ᾽ ἕκαστον δεῖ λέγειν;
ὄψει γὰρ αὐτός. β. βασιλέως υἱὸν λέγεις
Καρῶν ἀφῖχθαι; α. δηλαδὴ, Πιξώδαρον.
Ἡδύλος Ἐπιγράμμασι:

πίνωμεν καὶ γάρ τι νέον, καὶ γάρ τι παρ᾽ οἶνον
εὕροιμ᾽ ἂν λεπτὸν καί τι μελιχρὸν ἔπος.
ἀλλὰ κάδοις Χίου με κατάβρεχε καὶ λέγε ‘παῖζε,
Ἡδύλε.’ μισῶ ζῆν ἐς κενόν, οὐ μεθύων.
καὶ ἐν ἄλλῳ:

ἐξ ἠοῦς εἰς νύκτα καὶ ἐκ νυκτῶν πάλι Σωκλῆς
εἰς ἠοῦν πίνει τετραχόοισι κάδοις,
εἶτ᾽ ἐξαίφνης που τυχὸν οἴχεται. ἀλλὰ παρ᾽ οἶνον
Σικελίδεω παίζει πουλὺ μελιχρότερον,
ἐστὶ δὲ καὶ πολὺ δὴ στιβαρώτερος. ὡς δ᾽ ἐπιλάμπει
ἡ χάρις, ὥστε φίλος καὶ γράφε καὶ μέθυε.
Κλείταρχος δ᾽ ἐν ταῖς Γλώσσαις τὸ κεράμιόν φησιν [p. 88] Ἴωνας κάδον καλεῖν. Ἡρόδοτος δ᾽ ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ φοινικηίου, φησίν, οἴνου κάδον.
