In Lucian of Samosata's Pseudologista, he insults his critic by comparing the guy to the Lesbians and the Phoenicians as a way of saying he performs cunnilingus. (The full context is something along the lines of "everyone saw you do fellatio what would they say if i told them you also did oral sex on women WHAT THEN YOU PUNK ASS BITCH")

The words are λεσβιάζειν σε καὶ φοινικίζειν.

I could only find this pdf with an English translation. On page 407, "from Lesbos and Phoenicia". In this French translation, we have "la passion lesbienne et phénicienne" / "the Lesbian and Phenician passion". (I have to say being able to cross reference translations between languages is very useful when double checking meanings.)

Was this what I was looking for? No. Do I care? Also no.
