St+ Greek placenames
Stamboul of course Stimpoli (Argyroupolis) Stives (Thebes) Sithines/Satines/Sethines (Athens)  Avarino Names_of_Istanbul Satines for Athines, etc.[12] Similar examples of modern Turkish placenames derived from Greek in this fashion are İzmit, earlier İznikmit, from Greek Nicomedia, İznik from Greek Nicaea ([iz nikea]), Samsun (s'Amison = "se + Amisos"), and İstanköy for the Greek island Kos (from is tin Ko). The occurrence of the initial i- in these names may partly reflect the old Greek form with is-, or it may partly be an effect of secondary epenthesis, resulting from the phonotactic structure of Turkish, as in Turkish istasyon from French station.

tracta
Using evidence from the Jerusalem Talmud, the Septuagint, Horace, and Athenaeus, Susan Weingarten argues that tracta was synonymous to lagana, an unleavened dough product which was sun-dried or oven-dried dough, similar to modern pasta. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234116921_The_debate_about_ancient_tracta_evidence_from_the_Talmud

review of Patrick Faas: http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdfplus/10.1525/gfc.2004.4.1.103.pdf criticizes discussion of tracta: Faas’s remarks on tracta could have benefited from a study of Grainger’s article in Meals beyond the Dairy: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery (1999). She maintains that the best method of making tracta is by means of a testum or pottery cover placed over the dough and then covered with hot ashes
