ὁ μὲν οὖν ἀρχιμάγειρος οὔτ’ εἰς δεσμωτήριον ἀπάγεται οὔτε τινὶ περιπίπτει λύμῃ διὰ τὸ μὴ σφόδρα τῶν ἀναγκαίων εἶναι τὰς παραρτύσεις οὐχ ἡδονὰς οὔσας ἀλλ’ εὔσβεστα ἡδονῶν ὑπεκκαύματα, δύο δὲ τῶν περὶ τὴν ἄθλιον γαστέρα πραγματευομένων, ἀρχισιτοποιὸς καὶ ἀρχιοινοχόος, ἐπειδὴ τὰ συνεκτικώτατα τῶν εἰς τὸ ζῆν χρησίμων ἐστὶ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις, ὧν ἐπιμελείας μὲν ἀξιουμένων οἱ προεστῶτες εἰκότως ἐπαίνων τυγχάνουσιν, ὀλιγωρουμένων δὲ ὀργῆς καὶ κολάσεως ἀξιοῦνται.
