86. ἦμος δὲ δρυτόμος] ἄκρως τὸν καιρὸν ἐδήλωσεν, ἀπὸ τῶν κατειθισμένων καὶ πᾶσι γνωρίμων τὴν δήλωσιν ποιησάμενος· οὕπω γὰρ ἦν ὥραις μετρητὴ ἡ ἡμέρα. ὁρᾶται δὲ ἡ ἀρετὴ τῶν Ἑλλήνων, ὅτι οὐδὲ τῷ καιρῷ παραχωροῦσι τῷ πάντα τὰ σώματα διαλύειν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων πεφυκότι. ὅτι Ζηνόδοτος γράφει δόρπον. οὐ λέγει δὲ δεῖπνον τὴν ἑσπερινὴν τροφὴν νῦν, ἀλλὰ δεῖπνον καλεῖ ὃ ἡμεῖς ἄριστον, καθʼ ἣν ὥραν καὶ ὁ δρυτόμος ἀριστοποιεῖται, ἤγουν ὁ ὑλοτόμος, ὁ ξυλοτόμος· δρῦν γὰρ ἐκάλουν οἱ παλαιοὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀρχαιοτέρου πᾶν δένδρον.
