The greek words in this article are broken. (I think due to OCR) I have placed strikethroughs through them until they are fixed. The words needed are:

• & 6~vl36.4we or 6~i,~3a4ia: shallow saucers
• irXitcnyE or irXiurrcy~: a small disc or basin, resembling a scale-pan
• X~avLs: a larger disc
• u&νης: a bronze figure (partially correct/translated?)
• Xivra~: the wine thrown/noise made. I think this is "latax" (λάταξ) by looking through an online dict.

See the link I have added at the end of the article to the Smith work. From this, someone who is more comfortable than I am with the Greek alphabet ought to be able to extract all the needed words. Russ Blau (talk) July 8, 2005 19:56 (UTC)

Act of throwing the wine/sometimes the goblet = "ἀγκύλη"

I fixed the Greek words, but the "Variations" section repeats some of what has already been said under "Rules of play." -- Flauto Dolce 17:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

"Several of Wilde's poems were published in Kottabos, the magazine of Trinity College, Dublin, where the artist had begun his studies." porges 09:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Woah. I meant to write student, but stupid came out. Damnest Freud!

[edit] Pic question

What is the player in the vase picture holding in his left hand? I see that in a lot of similar pictures. It is as if the player refills the kylix from it. Is it a skyphos? Any info on this? Haiduc 01:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
