Aelian fr. 92b Domingo-Forasté (part of 89 Hercher). "The man
Euphronius, a man possessed, rejoiced in
Epicurus' chatter, and also drew two evils from it: being godless and licentious. Being in so much evil, he did not forget that loathsome and godless treatise which which the man from Gargettus inflicted as a stain on human life, like what grows out of Titanic seeds." Quotation already in
kappa 156 and
kappa 1511.
The Titanic seeds may refer to something like the Spartoi.
