This somewhat repetitive entry is based on the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 86 and Wealth [Plutus] 765. For the headword see also kappa 2414.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (from Aelius Dionysius); see the references at Photius kappa1092 Theodoridis. This absurd etymology ignores the fact that bread was normally baked only from wheat, not from barley.
[2] Aristophanes, Acharnians 85-7 (telescoped, see below).
[3] The King of Persia; the speaker is the leader of an Athenian embassy to him, reporting back to the Assembly on his mission.
[4] In the Aristophanic text, the ambassador says that the King served "whole oxen from the kri/banos" and Dikaiopolis, who has been keeping up a running commentary of asides on the Assembly proceedings, remarks "And who has ever seen oven-baked (kribani/tas) oxen?" The lexicographer has thus run two speeches into one, omitting the last word of line 85 and the whole of line 86.
[5] Arrian, Indika 28.1; more fully at pi 957.
[6] The Ichthyophagoi [Fish-Eaters] of Kyiza, a township on the shore of the Indian Ocean visited by the fleet of Alexander's admiral Nearchus, to whom this gift was offered. This, according to Arrian, was the first time that any Ichthyophagite community had been found that cooked its food -- and significantly, they baked it in the same way that Greeks baked bread; for, in a direct inversion of Greek practice, they treated fish as their staple and cereals as their relish (o)/yon) (Indika 28.8-9).
