Nicochares, in his Handicraftsmen, says— I've loaves, and barley-cakes, and bran, and flour, And rolls, obelias, and honey'd cheesecakes, Epichyti, ptisan, and common cheesecakes, Dendalides, and fried bread. But Pamphilus says that the ἐπίχυτος is the same kind of cheesecake as that which is called ἀττανίτης. And Hipponax mentions the ἀττανίτης in the following lines:— Not eating hares or woodcocks, Nor mingling small fried loaves with cakes of sesame, Nor dipping attanite in honeycombs,

There is also the creïum. This is a kind of cheesecakes which, at Argos, is brought to the bridegroom from the bride; and it is roasted on the coals, and the friends of the bride- groom are invited to eat it; and it is served up with honey, as Philetas tells us in his Miscellanies.

There is also the glycinas: this is a cheesecake in fashion among the Cretans, made with sweet wine and oil, as Seleucus tells us in his Dialects.
