Pherecr. fr. 137.6; Cratin. fr. 462;110 Pl. Com. fr. 274; Hor. C. 3.8.11; App. Prov.
3.43 with Leutsch-Schneidewin 1839 ad loc.·, Ascani 2001. 454 n. 32; Pickard-
Cambridge 1927. 290-1 n. 6.111
110 This fragment records that the poet Ecphantides was called Καπνίας, seemingly
referring to the wine, although Hsch. κ 716 interprets the name as derived διά τό
