Note 127 — Chapter II
Walter Armstrong translation
G. Curtius is of opinion that the word κεραμος, and consequently its derivatives (κεραμευς, κεραμεια, κεραμεικη, &c.,) springs rather from a root CRA, expressive of the idea to cook, than from the word κεραννυμι, to mix, knead (Grundzüge der Griechischen Etymologie, p. 147, 5th edition).
