Title The name Satyrias is not otherwise attested, although Meineke 1839
1.373 is surely correct in his opinion that ‘Satyrias nomen proprium fuisse
videtur a Σάτυρος formatum, ut Αριστίας ab άριστος, Διδυμίας a δίδυμος,
Σκληρίας a σκληρός et similia’; cf. Chantraine 1933. 92-6; Breitenbach 1908.
78-9. Breitenbach compares Plautus’ Saturio, although this is rather the trans-
literated Latin form of Σατυρίων, a fairly common name of the late Hellenistic
period (LGPNII list 19 occurrences in Attica, of which the four third-century
instances are the earliest), and thus is almost certainly unrelated, aside from
sharing a common stem.
Content of the comedy Only a single, uninformative word survives from
the play, but the title is more likely meant as a descriptive name than as a
reference to an otherwise unknown historical figure.
Date Unknown.

Citation context The serving of tripe and the like at Athenaeus 3.94c evokes
an extended discussion of such food (lasting until 3.101e, but with a long di-
gression at 3.96f-100b). After more general remarks (3.94c-5a), the discussion
turns to parts of pigs specifically (3.95a-6e). This fragment occurs near the
beginning of that section, in the midst of quotations largely concerned with
