50. Τὰ ὠὰ δὲ ὀρνίθων ἰσχυρὸν μέν τι ἔχουσι καὶ τρόφιμον καὶ φυσῶδες, ἰσχυρὸν μὲν, ὅτι γένεσίς ἐστι τοῦ ζώου, τρόφιμον δὲ ὅτι γάλα ἐστὶ τοῦτο τῷ νεοσσῷ, φυσῶδες δὲ ὅτι ἐκ μικροῦ ὄγκον ἐς πολὺ διαχέεται. 51. Ὁ τυρὸς ἰσχυρὸν καὶ καυσῶδες καὶ τρόφιμον καὶ στάσιμον, ἰσχυρὸν μὲν ὅτι ἔγγιστα γενέσιος, τρόφιμον δὲ ὅτι τοῦ γάλακτος τὸ σαρκῶδές ἐστιν ὑπόλοιπον, καυσῶδες δὲ ὅτι λιπαρὸν, στάσιμον δὲ ὅτι ὀπῷ καὶ πυτίῃ ξυνέστηκεν.
