Certain cakes were made for the gods out of separated [sc. grain], that is [sc. separated] from the [sc. rest of the] harvest. Didymus says that, strictly speaking, a pelanos is the cake made from fine flour, out of which they make cakes:[1] either from being flattened or because it is white, or through being light, that is, white. However, Euripides in the Orestes says, in a special sense, "wipe the foamy pelanos from my poor mouth".[2] Which means the foam at the mouth.
