Note 21 — Chapter II · ON PEDICATION
Reading edition
Catamite according to Festus, is the same thing as Ganymede, the minion of Jupiter; the Latins, by similar corruption of words, pronounced Proserpina for Persephone, Aesculapius for Asclepios, Carthago for Carchedo, Pollux for Polydeukes, Sybilla for Siobulé, masturbare for manu stuprare.
