Vinaya Pitaka - Monastic Rules
Bhikkhu Vibhanga - Sekhiya 54: Not to lick the lips when eating.
- Translated from the Pali by I.B. Horner.
… in Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time the group of six monks ate licking the lips …
‘I will not eat licking the lips,’ is a training to be observed."
One should not eat licking the lips … if he is the first wrong-doer.

2 "na oṭṭhanillehakaṃ bhuñjissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā"ti. (54:199)
3 na oṭṭhanillehakaṃ bhuñjitabbaṃ. yo anādariyaṃ paṭicca oṭṭhanillehakaṃ bhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
