quoting verbatim from Theophrastos' treatise On Piety1 (c. 332 B.C.);
and Pausanias writes (c. 170 A.D.) as one who has visited the
Akropolis and taken a personal interest in its cults. The following
account is in the main that of Porphyrios2, words enclosed 111
square brackets being additions from Pausanias:—
[Barley and wheat3,] made up into semi-solid porridge and solid
cakes4, were placed on the bronze table [or altar of Zeus Poheus ]•
