I consulted Cooking in Ancient Civilizations by Cathy Kaufman, who uses recipes referenced by Athenaeus. The recipe, including any changes I made, follows.
Instructions:
Grease a 10-inch springform pan with almond oil and preheat oven to 350℉.
Whisk ricotta, slowly mix in eggs until just incorporated and smooth, then fold in flour and a pinch of salt.
