Attic [writers] say thus, without the beta, that which we [say] bo/lbiton. Aristophanes [writes]: "those two kept [me] in all the cow-pats." That is, in all luxury and all good things. But [he says] "in cow-pats" because the discourse [is] about cows.[1] Thus the excrements of cattle are called.[2]
