δοκεῖ δὲ τὸ ἄλφιτον, εὐτελέστερον ἀλεύρου εἶναι. εἰ δὲ οἱ μεθ’ Ὅμηρον ἐπὶ κριθίνων ἀλεύρων ἢ καὶ ἐπὶ πιτύρων τὸ ἄλφιτον τιθέασι παρὰ τὸ ἄλφεσθαι ἴταις ὅ ἐστιν εὑρίσκεσθαι πτωχοῖς δι’ εὐτέλειαν, ἀλλ’ ὁ ποιητὴς οὐχ’ οὕτως ἐκδέχεται. ἀλλὰ τὸ ἁπλῶς ἄλευρον, ἄλφιτον λέγει διὰ τὸ ἐν τῷ ἀλεῖσθαι, φάειν, ἤγουν φαίνειν καὶ λευκαίνεσθαι, ἢ φονεύεσθαι. ὅθεν καὶ μυλήφατον ἄλφιτον, ὅπερ ὅ τι οὐκ ἐξ ἀνάγκης πίτυρον ἢ πιτυρῶδες ἐστὶ, δηλοῦσι καὶ τὰ τῶν τρυφώντων ψαιστὰ, ἄλφιτα ὄντα κατὰ Παυσανίαν, οἴνῳ καὶ ἐλαίῳ μεμαγμένα ἢ δεδευμένα

Quotation

Γίνεται δὲ ἄλφιτον, ὡς καὶ ἐν Ὀδυσσείᾳ φαίνεται, ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἀλῶ, τὸ ἀλήθω, καὶ τὸ φῶ, τὸ φονεύω, τὸ οἱονεὶ πεφασμένον ἐν τῷ ἀλήθεσθαι. διὸ καὶ μυλήφατον λέγεται. ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἄλφω, τὸ εὑρίσκω, καὶ τὸ ἴτης, ὁ πτωχός, τὸ τοῖς ἴταις εὑρισκόμενον. ἄλφιτον γάρ, φασί, κυρίως κρίθινον πίτυρον. τινὲς δὲ ἁπλούστερον ἄλφιτόν φασι τὸ ἐκ πεφρυγμένων κριθῶν, παρὰ τὸ ἀλφῶ τὸ πρῶτον ἐφευρεθέν
