[13] εἰλαπίνης: Athenaeus, 362 E, τὰς θυσίας καὶ τὰς λαμπροτέρας παρασκευὰς ἐκάλουν οἱ παλαιοὶ εἰλαπίνας, καὶ τοὶς τούτων μετέχοντας εἰλαπιναστάς. Athen. goes on to suggest connexions with λαφύττει: λαπάζειν, and λάπτειν. Fick explains it as ἐ-ϝλαπ-ινη, connected with Lat. volup. In Hom. we have it contrasted with ἔρανος, e.g. Od. 1. 226, 11. 415.
