  • ἢν δέ ποτε καὶ ἀπέλθῃ ἐπὶ δεῖπνον λαβοῦσα μίσθωμα, οὔτε μεθύσκεται, ‐ καταγέλαστον γὰρ καὶ μισοῦσιν οἱ ἄνδρεσ τὰσ τοιαύτασ ‐ οὔτε ὑπερεμφορεῖται τοῦ ὄψου ἀπειροκάλωσ, ἀλλὰ προσάπτεται μὲν ἄκροισ τοῖσ δακτύλοισ, σιωπῇ δὲ τὰσ ἐνθέσεισ οὐκ ἐπ̓ ἀμφοτέρασ παραβύεται τὰσ γνάθουσ, πίνει δὲ ἠρέμα, οὐ χανδόν, ἀλλ̓ ἀναπαυομένη. (Lucian, Dialogi meretricii, 3:3)
