41. Κυκεὼν δὲ σὺν ἀλφίτοισι μοῦνον ἐφ’ ὕδατι μὲν ψύχει καὶ τρέφει, ἐπ’ οἴνῳ δὲ θερμαίνει καὶ τρέφει καὶ ἵστησιν· ἐπὶ μέλιτι δὲ θερμαίνει μὲν ἧσσον καὶ τρέφει, διαχωρέει δὲ μᾶλλον, ἢν μὴ ἄκρητον ᾖ τὸ μέλι· ἢν δὲ μὴ, οὐ διαχωρέει, ἀλλ’ ἵστησιν· ἐπὶ δὲ γάλακτι τρόφιμοι μὲν πάντες, πλὴν ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν ὄϊον ἵστησι, τὸ δὲ αἴγειον μᾶλλον διαχωρέει, τὸ δὲ βόειον ἧσσον, τὸ δὲ ἵππειον καὶ τὸ ὄνειον μᾶλλον διαχωρέει.
