Ἄλλος μὲν μογέων ἀποκινήσασκε τραπέζης πλεῖον ἐὸν (sc. Τὸ δέπας in anteced. descriptum), Νέστωρ δ ̓ ὁ γέρων ἀμογητὶ ἄειρεν], Cur Nestorem potissimum poeta dixerit, quaerunt. Στησίμβροτος μέν φησιν, ἵνα δοκῇ εἰκότως πολλὰ ἔτη βεβιωκέναι· εἰ γὰρ παραμόνιος ἡ ἰσχὺς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπὸ γήρως μεμάρανται, καὶ τὰ τῆς ζωῆς εὔλογον εἶναι παραπλήσια· Ἀντιφάνης δὲ, οὐ περὶ τῆς κατὰ χεῖρα βαρύτητος λέγει, ἀλλ ̓ ὅτι οὐκ ἐμεθύσκετο σημαίνει, ἀλλ ̓ ἔφερε ῥᾳδίως τὸν οἶνον· Γλαῦκος δὲ, ὅτι κατὰ διάμετρον ἐλάμβανε τὰ ὦτα, ἐκ μέσυ δὲ πᾶν εὔφορον.
