38 Eckhard J. Schnabel Clemens Alexandrinus, Protrepticus sive cohortatio ad gentess 1.4: Λίθοι δὲ καὶ ξύλα οἱ ἄφρονες: πρὸς δὲ καὶ λίθων ἀναισθητότερος ἄνθρωπος ἀγνοίᾳ βεβαπτισμένος (“The silly are stocks and stones, and still more senseless than stones is a man who is steeped in ignorance”; P. Schaff) (ii/iii). John Chrysostom, Homiliae 40.5 in Mt. (PG 57.438): Ποίων οὖν ταῦτα κυμάτων, ποίου κλύδωνος οὐ χαλεπώτερα; Καὶ γὰρ καὶ φυσᾶται ἀθρόον ὑπὸ τῆς ἡδονῆς ὁ τοιοῦτος, καὶ βαπτίζεται πάλιν εὐκόλως, ἐν ἀνωμαλίᾳ μὲν ἀεὶ, ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ δὲ οὐδέποτε ὤν (“What manner of waves then, what tempest so grievous as this? Yea, such a one is both puffed up in a moment by the pleasure, and is under water again easily, being ever in fluctuation, in tranquillity never”; P. Schaff) (ii/iii). Sense 3: to become intoxicated; gloss: ‘to be drunk’ Plato, Symposium 176A-B: Τὸν οὖν Παυσανίαν ἔφη λόγου τοιούτου τινὸς κατάρχειν. Εἶεν, ἄνδρες, φάναι, τίνα τρόπον ῥᾷστα πιόμεθα; ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι τῷ ὄντι πάνυ χαλεπῶς ἔχω ὑπὸ τοῦ χθὲς πότου καὶ δέομαι ἀναψυχῆς τινος οἶμαι δὲ καὶ ὑμῶν τοὺς πολλούς. παρῆστε γὰρ χθές σκοπεῖσθε οὖν τίνι τρόπῳ ἂν ὡς ῥᾷστα πίνοιμεν. Τὸν οὖν Ἀριστοφάνη εἰπεῖν, Τοῦτο μέντοι εὖ λέγεις, ὦ Παυσανία, τὸ παντὶ τρόπῳ παρασκευάσασθαι ῥᾳστώνην τινὰ τῆς πόσεως: καὶ γὰρ αὐτός εἰμι τῶν χθὲς βεβαπτισμένων (“Then Pausanias, he said, began so speak somewhat as follows, “All right, men”, he said, “What will be the easiest way for us to drink? Now I tell you that I am really in a very bad way from yesterday’s drinking, and I need a rest. I suspect that many of you do too, for you were also here yesterday. So consider what would be the easiest way for us to drink.” Aristophanes then said, “That is a good suggestion, Pausanias, to arrange our drinking in some easier way, for I too am one of yesterday’s soaks”; S. Benardete) (V/IV).84 Plutarch, Questionum convivialum 6 Intro. (Moralia 686B): μέγα γὰρ ὡς ἀληθῶς εὐημερίας ἐφόδιον ευκρασία σώματος ἀβαπτίστου καὶ ἐλαφροῦ καὶ παρεστῶτος ἀνυπόπτως ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἐνέργειαν (“It is truly a great contribution to our health and happiness to have our bodies in a good state of balance, not sodden with wine, but light and ready unhesitatingly for any activity”; H. B. Hoffleit) (i). Josephus, Antiquitates Judaicae 10.169: θεασάμενος δ’ αὐτὸν οὕτως ἔχοντα καὶ βεβαπτισμένον εἰς ἀναισθησίαν καὶ ὕπνον ὑπὸ τῆς μέθης ὁ Ἰσμάηλος ἀναπηδήσας 84 Plato, Plato’s Symposium (a translation by Seth Benardete; Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2001), p. 5; Walter R. M. Lamb, Plato (Volume 5: Lysis, Symposium, Gor- gias; Loeb Classical Library; Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1975), translates ″for I myself am one of those who got such a soaking yesterday.⁇
