50. τοσούτων λεχθέντων καὶ περὶ τούτων οὐδὲ τῶν ἰατρῶν οἱ παρόντες ἀσύμβολοι μετειλήφασιν. ἔφη γὰρ ὁ Διονυσοκλῆς: ‘ Μνησίθεος ὁ Ἀθηναῖος ἐν
τῷ περὶ ἐδεστῶν ἔφη: ‘ κεφαλὴ καὶ πόδες ὑὸς οὐ πολὺ τὸ τρόφιμον καὶ λιπαρὸν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἔχουσι.’ ’ καὶ ὁ Λεωνίδης: ‘ δήμων ἐν δ᾽ Ἀτθίδος Σ32 ‘Ἀφείδαντα,’ φησί, ‘ βασιλεύοντα Ἀθηνῶν Θυμοίτης ὁ νεώτερος ἀδελφὸς νόθος ὢν ἀποκτείνας αὐτὸς ἐβασίλευσεν. ἐφ᾽ οὗ Μέλανθος Μεσσήνιος ἐκπεσὼν
τῆς πατρίδος ἐπήρετο τὴν Πυθίαν ὅπου κατοικήσει, ἡ δὲ ἔφη, ἔνθα ἂν ξενίοις πρῶτον τιμηθῇ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπὶ τῷ δείπνῳ παραθέντων. καὶ τοῦτ᾽ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι: τῶν ἱερειῶν γὰρ τότε πάτριόν τινα ἑορτὴν ἐπιτελουσῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ κρέα κατανηλωκυιῶν, τῶν δὲ ποδῶν καὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑπολοίπων ὄντων ταῦτα τῷ Μελάνθῳ ἀπέστειλαν.’ ’
