πιόντες γὰρ ἔτι διψῶσι καὶ ἄρχονται μὲν ἀπὸ τῶν βραχυτέρων κυάθων, προϊόντες δὲ ταῖς μείζοσιν οἰνοχόαις ἐγχεῖν παραγγέλλουσιν· ἐπειδὰν δ’ ἀκροθώρακες γενόμενοι χλιανθῶσιν, οὐκέτι κρατεῖν ἑαυτῶν δυνάμενοι τὰς οἰνηρύσεις καὶ τὰς ἀμύστεις καὶ τοὺς κρατῆρας ὅλους προσενεγκάμενοι ἀκράτου σπῶσιν ἀθρόως, μέχρις ἂν ἢ βαθεῖ ὕπνῳ δαμασθῶσιν ἢ τῶν ὄγκων ἀποπληρωθέντων ὑπερβλύσῃ τὸ ἐπεισχεόμενον.
