31. Ἢν ἄνθρωπον θέρμη ἔχῃ μὴ ἀπὸ χολῆς, μηδὲ ἀπὸ φλέγματος, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἀπὸ κόπου, ἢ ἄλλως πυρεταίνῃ, ὕδωρ θερμῆναι πολλὸν, ἔπειτα ὑπερχέων τὴν κεφαλὴν βρέχειν, μέχρις ἂν τοὺς πόδας ἱδρώσῃ· καὶ ἄλητον ἕψεσθαι ὡς παχύτατον, ἐπὴν δὲ ἱδρώσῃ τοὺς πόδας, ἄλητον ὡς πλεῖστον καὶ θερμότατον ἐσθίων, καὶ οἶνον ἄκρητον ἐπιπίνων, περιστειλάμενος ἱματίοις, ἀναπαυέσθω εὐκόπως, ἢ μὴν ναρκίσσου δύο ἢ τρεῖς κεφαλὰς ἐπὶ τῷ δείπνῳ ἐσθιέτω.
