Ἑκαταῖος δ᾽ ἐν δευτέρωι Περιηγήσεως, εἰπὼν περὶ Αἰγυπτίων ὡς ἀρτοφάγοι εἰσὶν ἐπιφέρει· «τὰς κριθὰς ἐς τὸ πῶμα καταλέουσιν».

Hecataeus, in the second book of the Periegesis, having said of the Egyptians that they are bread-eaters, adds: 'They grind down barley into a drink.'

Apparatus — BNJ base vs open-corpus witness

Base text after Brill’s New Jacoby / Jacoby (FGrH). The apparatus records differences against the open-corpus witness (Athenaeus, Deipn. 10 (Kaibel, open-corpus tlg0008 grc3)) within the overlapping span; encoding and orthography are folded. Collation codepoint-verified and adversarially audited (2026-06-26).
