ἔχει 5 μὲν οὖν καὶ τὰ ζῳοτόκα ταύτην τὴν αἴσθησιν, καὶ σχεδὸν τῶν πλείστων ὄψων καὶ ἐδεστῶν ἐν τῇ καταπόσει τῇ τάσει τοῦ οἰσοφάγου γίνεται ἡ χάρις. διὸ οὐχ οἱ αὐτοὶ περὶ τὰ πόματα καὶ τοὺς χυμοὺς ἀκρατεῖς εἰσὶ καὶ τὰ ὄ ψα καὶ τὴν ἐδωδήν, ἀλλὰ τοῖς μὲν ἄλλοις ζῴοις καὶ ἡ κατὰ τὴν γεῦσιν ὑπάρχει αἴσθησις, ἐκείνοις δʼ ὡσπερανεὶ ἡ ἑτέρα.
