*kataskeda/zein
Adler number: kappa,764
Translated headword: to sprinkle
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Used] with a genitive. It was a Thracian custom in their symposia, where, when the drinkers have drunk as much wine as they can, they pour the remainder of the wine down the cloaks of the drinkers; this they used to call "sprinkling" [it]. So [says]
Xenophon in [book] 7 of the
Anabasis of Cyrus.[1] It is also mentioned by the great
Plato in the
Laws.[2]
Xenophon says: "he stood up and, as soon as[3] he had finished drinking with him, joined him in sprinkling the dregs".
