"In Maecenas' dining-room there was a right-angled table below the couch, very great in size and incomparable in beauty; and as was likely different men praised it in different ways. But Iortios not being able to express the marvel for himself, when silence fell, [said], "Do you not see that, my dear drinking-companions, how it is round and very circular?" So at such sheer flattery, as was likely, laughter broke out. Plutarch [says this]."[1]
