Sympotic

"Athenaeus, whose Deipnosophistae remains one of our most valuable sources of ancient testimonia about the symposium, apparently had some notion of sympotic reclining as a practice connected to luxruy and moral laxity, but the Athenians do not seem to have shared this view."

Possibly a reminder of Alcibiades' late, drunken arrival in Plato's "Symposium," which had become a convention of sympotic literature.
