490 nos dites gregibus, cunctis nos pinguibus hortis

inemtos pepones, aluumque inflare solentes
cucumeres auido mordaces carpsimus haustu.

491 the initial iambus is an infallible mark of corruption. The logic too is marred by coupling an essential characteristic of cucumbers 'windy,' with the accidental attribute 'unbought,' which, even if it stood alone, is here inappropriate. uentrosos 'pot-bellied,' is the word required. So Prop. 30 IV (v) 2 43 caeruleus cucumis tumidoque cucurbita uentre. Verg. g. IV 122 cresceret in uentrem. moret. 88 et grauis in latum demissa (so read) cucurbita uentrem. These and the copa are parallel passages to our text, and will make vegetarians' mouths water. Ventrosus is applied by Pliny to dolia and

is found also in Plautus, Cassiodorius, schol. Iuv. Iv 107 and S. Placit. IV 16 and glosses. First the termination -osos lost one half. Remained uentros (or uētos). The scribe wanted a trisyllable, and found it in iētos, or inemtos, together with the stern joy that scribes feel in breaking the (metrical) head of 5 Priscian. Judges 691 uirtutis inemptae ends the verse. The word pepones (see Adams on Paulus Aegineta, ind. Galen and HSt. Téπwv) occurs in Plin., Tert., Hier. ep. 121 2 (856) a perfect parallel to our text: et in Iesu uolumine (i.e. the book of Joshua) torrens appellatur CANNAE, id est, 10 CALAMI; qui aquas habet turbidas, quas elegit Israel, purissima contemnens fluenta Iordanis: reuersusque mente in Aegyptum et desiderans caenosam ac palustrem regionem, peponesque et caepe et alia et cucumeres ollasque Aegyptiarum carnium, rectissime per Isaiam appellatur calamus fractus. On 15 the cucumis (σίκυος or σικνός and later ἄγγουρος) the ind. to Sillig's Pliny treats you to more than a column e. g. XIX § 64 65, a very interesting passage about the moving greenhouses of the imperial gardeners, who kept Tiberius in cucumbers every day in the year, § 65 placent copiosissimi Africae, grandissumi 2 Moesiae. cum magnitudine excessere, pepones uocantur. uunt hausti in stomacho in posterum diem nec perfici queunt in cibis, non insalubres tamen plurimum. See indd. to Oribase ed. Bussemaker and Daremberg (concombres, melons), Celsus, Galen; Adams on Paulus Aegineta I 128-9, 25 esp. III 335, who, with ill-timed originality, having the choice between oxytone and proparoxytone, has split the difference by making it paroxytone. Galen de alim. fac. II 3 (vi 561 K) of the indigestibility of the gourd (cucurbita, koλokúvoŋ). id. de probis prauisque alimentorum sucis 8 (VI 793) κаρπoì 8' eiσì 30 καὶ σικνοὶ καὶ πέπονες καὶ μηλοπέπονες, ἀλλ ̓ οὐδὲν οὐδὲ τούτων εὔχυμον. εἰ δὲ μὴ ταχέως ὑπέλθοι, διαφθεί ρεται κατὰ τὴν γαστέρα καὶ τὸν ἐκ τῆς διαφθορᾶς γι νόμενον χυμὸν ἐγγὺς τοῖς θανασίμοις γενόμενον (sic) φαρμάκοις ἐργάζεται.
