I found a mention of it in a mid-12th century charted for a Flemish abbey where the benefactor promises the monks on the day of his death for tne next 30 years ‘wine, good quality fishes and an artokreas’.

It mensions the word artokreas as a dish that will be made and given to the monks to remember his death and pray for him.
