A short list of items supplied by Apollophanes for a sacrifice at an altar: two kids, two piglets, ten birds, ten young pigeons, a hundred eggs, vegetables and some further item. It comes from the Zenon archive at Philadelphia in the Fayum, mid 3rd century BC.
In English machine translation
From Apollophanes:
sacrifice for the altar:
kids 2
piglets 2
birds (hens) 10
young pigeons 10
eggs 100
vegetables
sweetmeats (?)
The last word, terpous, is obscure; it may denote some delicacy or sweet item. One description suggests the altar may be that of the king.
