“2. ποτήρια δὲ πρῶτον οἶδα ὀνομάσαντα τὸν Ἀμόργιον ποιητὴν Σιμωνίδην ἐν Ἰάμβοις οὕτως:

ἀπὸ τράπεζαν εἷλεν ᾗ ποτήρια ...

καὶ ὁ τὴν Ἀλκμαιωνίδα δὲ ποιήσας φησίν

νέκυς δὲ χαμαιστρώτου ἐπὶ τείνας
εὐρείης στιβάδος παρέθηκ᾽ αὐτοῖσι θάλειαν
δαῖτα ποτήριά τε, στεφάνους δ᾽ ἐπὶ κρασὶν ἔθηκεν.

ἅπερ ὠνομάσθη ἀπὸ τῆς πόσεως, ὡς τὸ ἔκπωμα οἱ ,Ἀττικοί ἐπεὶ ὑδροποτεῖν καὶ οἰνοποτεῖν λέγουσιν. Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Ἱππεῦσιν

γαμφηλαῖσι δράκοντα κοάλεμον αἱματοπώτην.

κἀν τῷ αὐτῷ δὲ ἔφη:

πολλῷ γ᾽ ὁ Βάκις διεχρῆτο τῷ ποτηρίῳ.

καὶ Φερεκράτης ἐν Τυραννίδι:

ἡ δὲ κρείττων ἡ μί᾽ ἐστὶ χιλίων ποτηρίων,

ὁ δὲ Ἀνακρέων ἔφη: [p. 6]

οἰνοπότης δὲ πεποίημαι.

ἔστι δὲ τὸ ῥῆμα καὶ παρὰ τῷ ποιητῇ: οἰνοποτάζων γὰρ εἴρηκε. καὶ Σαπφὼ δ᾽ ἐν τῷ β ἔφη:

πολλὰ δ᾽ ἀνάριθμα ποτήρια
κἀλέφαις.

καὶ Ἀλκαῖος:

ἐκ δὲ ποτήριον
πώνης Διννομένῃ παρίσδων.

τιμᾶται δὲ καὶ ἐν Ἀχαίᾳ Δημήτηρ ποτηριοφόρος κατὰ τὴν Ἀνθέων χῶραν, ὡς Αὐτοκράτης ἱστορεῖ ἐν β Ἀχαϊκῶν.
