Notes:
C1 BCE. See FGrH 377 (this testimonium only);
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 9.376D (9.19 Kaibel); and for fragments, H. Beckh (ed.),
Geoponica pp.36-517 passim.
Possibly connected with
pi 254, q.v.
[1] Alternatively (as Hemsterhuys suggested), not
*boiwtika/ but
biwtika/,
Victuals.
[2] Possibly figures of speech, but far more probably (given the adjective) sexual positions. See Jacoby's note, and cf.
delta 472 and esp.
delta 1442.
[3] This last '2', some think, should be six. In any event the
Geoponica appears to mention a third volume.
