Translation: As if [into] Kynosarkes; [sc. so named] from the incident when, after a lavish sacrifice, a dog went in and snatched the meat from the offering and took it away.[1] A temple was established there too; and bastards used to be judged there, [to see in each case] whether he was truly the son of the man present.[2] The Athenians used to call freedmen, too, bastards.[3] See [the entry] ei)s *kuno/sarges, for something clearer.

Notes:
As the final comment on the present entry suggests,
epsiloniota 290 has more reliable material on this topic; see also
kappa 2721.
[1] Thus, as this fanciful etymology has it, the name is somehow connected with the noun
sarx ('flesh').
[2] For 'bastards' (probably the least worst translation of the Greek
nothoi) see further at
nu 448,
nu 449.
[3] Untrue.
