Verse 25. Dish. Hebrew sephel; whence the symplue of the Lydians, Tuscans, and Romans, was probably derived, denoting a bowl or jug with a handle, designed for libations. They were formerly made of potter’s ware, fictilibus prolibatur sympuciis, or sympulis. Plin. xxxv. 13. “Aut quis—Sympuvium ridere Numæ, nigrumve catinum—Aut vaticanas fragiles de monte patellas—Ausus erat.” Juv. Sat. vi. Calmet.
