Texts

μή με κάλει δίσκων ἐπιίστορα λιμοφορήων,
βρωτύν μοι φορέων τὴν κολοκυνθιάδα.
ἀργυρέην ὕλην οὐ τρώγομεν, ἣν παραβάλλεις,
λιμῷ κρητίζων τοὺς μελέους πίνακας.

ζήτει νηστεύοντας ἐς ἀργυρέην ἐπίδειξιν,
καὶ τότε θαυμάζῃ, κοῦφον ἄσημον ἔχων.

— Paton edition

Do not invite me to witness your hunger-laden
dishes, bringing me pumpkin pie to feast on. We
don’t eat the solid silver you set before us, defrauding
with famine fare the poor trenchers. Seek those who
are keeping their fast for your display of silver, and
then you null be admired for your lightly loaded
plate.
