Λωτοφάγοι ναίουσι] Φιλοξένους φησὶ τοὺς Λωτοφάγους ἐκ τοῦ λωτοῦ τοῦ παῤ αὐτοῖς ἄνθους Δοκοῦσι γὰρ φιλοξενίας ἔχεσθαι. Ἢφιλόξενοι. Καὶ γὰρ τὸ παῤ αὐτοῖς ἀναδιδόμενον ἄνθος, φυσικήν τινα σχέσιν ἔχον ἐποχῆς, φιλοξενίας νενόμισται κτῆμα. Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ τούτοις καὶ ὁ Ποιητὴς (Od. 1, 94) λέγων· τῶν δʼ ὅστις λωτοῖο φάγοι μελιηδέα καρπόν, οὐκέτ᾿ ἀπαγγεῖλαι πάλιν ἤθελεν, οὐδὲ νέεσθαι, ἀλλ᾿ αὐτοῦ βούλοντο παῤ ἀνδράσι Λωτοφάγοισι λωτὸν ἐρεπτόμενοι μενέμεν νόστου τε λαθέσθαι.
