ὥσπερ δὲ καὶ τὸ στόμα τῆς ἀκατεργάστου 4 τροφῆς πόρος ἐστί, καὶ τὸ συνεχὲς αὐτῷ μόριον ὃ καλοῦσιν οἰσοφάγον, ὅσα τῶν ζῴων ἔχει τοῦτο τὸ μόριον, ἕως εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, οὕτω καὶ ἄλλας ἀρχὰς δεῖ πλείους εἶναι, διʼ ὧν ἅπαν λήψεται τὸ σῶμα τὴν τροφὴν, ὥσπερ ἐκ φάτνης, ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας καὶ τῆς τῶν ἐντέρων φύσεως.
