Whenever someone sacrificed an ox to Athena, he would also sacrifice to Pandora[1] a sheep with an ox; and the offering used to be called an after-the-ox.
Greek Original:
*)epi/boion: o(/tan tis th=| *)aqhna=| e)/que bou=n, e)/que kai\ th=| *pandw/ra| o)/i+n meta\ boo/s: kai\ e)kalei=to to\ qu=ma e)pi/boion.
Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., commenting on this term in Lycurgus fr. 35 Conomis.
[1] So, delightfully, the transmitted text. The true, mundane reading (from Harpok., quoting Philochorus FGrH 328 F10) is Pandrosos, daughter of Kekrops (pi 182).
