EXAMPLE
“…Few men enjoyed the privilege of going ‘tick’ with the fishmonger, who, secure of a ready sale, did not encourage long bills; and even had they been complaisantly disposed, the opsonomoi, or comptrollers of the fish-market, would have interfered to prevent it. At Corinth, where the supervision was particularly strict, the law enacted that none should ‘opsophagize‘ but such as could prove their income sufficient to support the extravagance; a poor offender was first cautioned, then mulcted and, if still incorrigible, handed over to the ‘carnifex’…”
