Ai Khanum. As in ancient Crete, they are aivos-like storage vessels (pottery) in the shape of an egg 1.50 m high and 0.5 m in diameter. 8 This type may show Hellenistic influence, but to spear a part of it would be even more difficult.9 Vessels of this kind are called kusüla in Sa. and Pkt. and one wonders why Jacobi did not give pinyāka its normal meaning, all the more because khala is, besides an oil-cake, a threshing floor, 10 not a storage vessel. Moreover, Grierson (1.c. 8263) mentions a combination of both words in their modern form as denoting 'oil-cake of poppy seeds'. One can imagine a part of an oil-cake on a spit, because it was edible, though Dalhana ad Susruta 46.382 describes its use as a dry vegetable (pinyāka-vikrti).11 Schlingloffl2 rendered pinyāka by
Kuchen' (cake). - For the lengthening of the final syllable in - pindi before avi see Pi 868 (end). Alāuyam besides alābuyam: see Pi $201. T II 148a ll glosses as tumbakam which otherwise occurs only with lexicographers.

ON THE OTHER HAND, HOWEVER, IF A NON-ARYAN PUTS A MAN ON A SPIT AND ROASTS HIM, TAKING HIM FOR AN OIL-CAKE, OR DOES THE SAME TO A CHILD HE THINKS IS A GOURD, IN OUR OPINION HE IS NOT SOILED WITH KILLING A LIVING BEING.
