Μάτρων ἐν παρῳδίαις:
σικυὸν τρώγουσα, γύναι, τὴν χλαῖναν ὕφαινε.
καὶ Λάχης:
καὶ σικυὸν εἶδον, γαίης ἐρικυδέος υἱόν,
κείμενον ἐν λαχάνοις: ὁ δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἐννέα κεῖτο τραπέζας.
Ἀττικοὶ μὲν οὖν ἀεὶ τρισυλλάβως, Ἀλκαῖος δὲ ‘δάκῃ, φησί, τῶν σικύων’ ἀπὸ εὐθείας τῆς σίκυς, ὡς στάχυς στάχυος. Γ στελεόν, ῥαφανίδας ... , σικυοὺς τέτταρας. σικύδιον δ᾽ ὑποκοριστικῶς εἴρηκε Φρύνιχος ἐν Μονοτρόπῳ:
ὡς δ᾽ ὅτ᾽ ἀέξηται σικυὸς δροσερῷ ἐνὶ χώρῳ.
κἀντραγεῖν σικύδιον. [p. 320]
