πρὸς δὲ τούτῳ κἀκεῖνο δεόντως ἂν λέγοιτο· αἱ ἑορτώδεις ἀνέσεις αὗται καὶ ἐκεχειρίαι μυρίας ἤδη πολλάκις ἁμαρτημάτων ὁδοὺς ἀνέτεμον· ἄκρατος γὰρ καὶ αἱ μετ’ οἰνοφλυγίας ὀψοφαγίαι τὰς γαστρὸς ἀκορέστους ἐπιθυμίας ἐγείρουσαι προσαναφλέγουσι καὶ τὰς ὑπὸ γαστέρα, καὶ ῥέουσαι καὶ χεόμεναι πάντῃ φορὰν ἀμυθήτων ἀπεργάζονται κακῶν τὸ τῆς ἑορτῆς ἀδεὲς ὁρμητήριον ἔχουσαι καὶ πρὸς τὸ μηδὲν παθεῖν καταφυγήν.
