ὅσα μὲν οὖν πέπονα σῦκα, τῆς μέσης ὕλης τῶν ἐδεσμάτων ἐστίν, ἢν οὔτε λεπτύνειν οὔτε παχύνειν ἱκανῶς τοὺς χυμοὺς εἰπεῖν ἐγχωρεῖ· τὰ δ’ ἄλλα πάντα τῆς μέσης ἐστὶ κατωτέρω· παχύχυμά τε γάρ ἐστι καὶ ψυχρὰ καὶ δύσπεπτα καὶ φυσώδη τὰ μηδέπω καλῶς πέπειρα, καθάπερ ὁ γλεύκινος οἶνος· ἔν δ’ αὐτοῖς ἀγαθὸν ὑπάρχει τὸ ταχέως διεξιέναι καὶ ταύτῃ σμικρά βλάπτειν.
