If we extend hexadecimal notation, with a = 10, b = 11, c =
12, etc, to bases greater than 16, then 41843 is the
smallest prime base in which Aristophanes' dish
"lepadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimypotrimmatosilphiotyromelitokatakech
ymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephaliokinklopeleiolagoiosiraioba
phetragalopterygon" evaluates to a prime, using the
transliteration given by
O'Neill. [Broadhurst]
