And Antiphanes also speaks of launches in his Philometor, using these words— While the wood has pith in it (ἔμμητρον) it puts forth shoots. There is a metropolis but no patropolis. Some men sell paunches (μῆτραι), a delicious food. Metras, the Chian, is dear to the people. And Euphron says in his Paradidomena— But my master having prepared a paunch Set it before Callimedon; and when he ate it It made him leap with joy; from which he earn'd The name of crab. And Dioxippus in his Antipornoboscus— What food doth he delight in! Dainty is he! Most dainty in his eating, paunches, sausages! And in his Historiographer, he says— Amphides burst in the porch and made himself a way in; Holding up two paunches fine, See for what I'm paying, Said he, and send me all you have, or all that you can find me. And Eubulus says in his Deucalion— Liver, and tripe, and entrails, aye, and paunches.
