“52. καὶ ' Ὠκίμου δὲ τῆς ἐμῆς, ὡς σὺ φής, Κύνουλκε, καὶ Ὑπερείδης μέμνηται ἐν τῷ κατὰ Ἀρισταγόρας β᾽ λέγων οὕτως: ‘ ὥστε Λαὶς μὲν ἡ δοκοῦσα πασῶν τῶν πώποτε διενηνοχέναι τὴν ὄψιν καὶ Ὤκιμον καὶ Μετάνειρα ... ’ Νικόστρατος δὲ ὁ τῆς μέσης κωμῳδίας ποιητὴς ἐν Πανδρόσῳ οὑτωσὶ λέγων: [p. 168]

ἔπειτα τῆς αὐτῆς ὁδοῦ
πρὸς Ἀερόπην ἐλθοῦσα πέμψαι στρώματα
αὐτὴν κέλευε, φησί, καὶ παρ᾽ ' Ὠκίμου
χαλκώματα.
Μένανδρος δ᾽ ἐν Κόλακι τάσδε καταλέγει ἑταίρας:

Χρυσίδα, Κορώνην, Ἀντίκυραν, Ἰσχάδα,
καὶ Ναννάριον ἔσχηκας ὡραίαν σφόδρα.
Φιλέταιρος ἐν Κυναγίδι:

οὐχὶ Κερκώπη μὲν ἤδη γέγον᾽ ἔτη τρισχίλια,
ἡ δὲ Διοπείθους ἀηδὴς Τέλεσις ἕτερα μυρία;
Θεολύτην δ᾽ οὐδ᾽ οἶδεν οὐδεὶς ὅτε τὸ πρῶτον ἐγένετο.
οὐχὶ Λαὶς μὲν τελευτῶσ᾽ ἀπέθανεν βινουμένη,
Ἰσθμιὰς δὲ καὶ Νέαιρα κατασέσηπε καὶ Φίλα;
Κοσσύφας δὲ καὶ Γαλήνας καὶ Κορώνας οὐ λέγω:
περὶ δὲ Ναίδος σιωπῶ: γομφίους γὰρ οὐκ ἔχει.
Θεόφιλος Φιλαύλῳ::

τοῦ μὴ ποτ᾽ αὐτὸν ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς Λαίδα
φερόμενον ἢ Μηκωνίδ᾽ ἢ Σισύμβριον
ἢ Βάραθρον ἢ Θάλλουσαν ἢ τούτων τινά,
ὧν ἐμπλέκουσι τοῖς λίνοις σ᾽ αἱ μαστροποί, ...
ἢ Ναύσιον ἢ Μαλθάκην.14”
