Deipnosophistae 5.38
-
αἱ δὲ κεφαλαὶ Κορινθιουργεῖς, ἐλέφαντι καὶ χρυσῷ διακεκοσμημέναι, τὸ δὲ ἐπιστύλιον ἐκ χρυσοῦ τὸ ὅλον ἐφ᾽ οὗ διάζωσμα ἐφήρμοστο περιφανῆ ζῴδια ἔχον ἐλεφάντινα μείζω πηχυαίων, τῇ μὲν τέχνῃ μέτρια, τῇ χορηγίᾳ δὲ ἀξιοθαύμαστα, ἐπέκειτο δὲ καὶ στέγη καλὴ τῷ συμποσίῳ τετράγωνος κυπαρισσίνη: γλυπτοὶ δ᾽ αὐτῆς ἦσαν οἱ κόσμοι, χρυσῆν ἔχοντες τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν.
