παροψ-ίς, ίδος, ἡ, (ὄψον)
= cross παρόψημα, Pherecr. 147, Ar. Fr. 187, al., X. Cyr. 1.3.4: metaph., τῶν κακῶν παροψίδες fresh tastes of misery, Magn. 2.
II dish on which such meats are served, Antiph. 60, Alex. 86, Archestr. Fr. 6, Matthew 23:25, Juv. 3.142, Artem. 1.74 (παραψ- codd., cf. Hsch.). (The second use is condemned by Phryn. 153.)
παροψίς, παροψίδος, ἡ (παρά (which see IV. 1), and ὄψον, on which see ὀψάριον);
1. "a side-dish, a dish of dainties or choice food suited not so much to satisfy as to gratify the appetite; a side-accompaniment of the more solid food"; hence, equivalent to παροψημα; so in Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4 and many Attic writings in Athen. 9, p. 367 d. following
2. the dish itself in which the delicacies are served up: Matthew 23:25, 26 (here T omits; WH brackets παροψίδος); Artemidorus Daldianus, oneir. 1, 74; Alciphron 3, 20; Plutarch, de vitand. aere alien. § 2. This latter use of the word is condemned by the Atticists; cf. Sturz, Lex. Xenophon, iii., 463f; Lob. ad Phryn., p. 176; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 265f); Poppo on Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 4.
