τὸ μέντοι παρέπεσθαί τινα τροφὴν εἰς τὸ διαμένειν ἐν τοῖς ψυχροῖς ἔνια τῶν θερμῶν τάχ᾽ ἄν τις συγχωρήσειεν· ἀλλὰ τὰ ποῖα καὶ πῶς τοῦτο πειρατέον διορίζειν, εἰ μὴ ἄρα ἁπλῶς ἰσχύϊ τινὶ μᾶλλον ἢ ῥιζῶν ἢ τῶν ὅλων σωμάτων ἡ διαμονὴ, καθάπερ καὶ τῆς ἀπίου καὶ τῆς ἀχράδος καὶ τῆς ἀμυγδαλῆς, ἃ δὴ καὶ ἥκιστα ἐκπήγνυται. καὶ περὶ μὲν θερμότητος ἐκ τούτων ληπτέος ὁ διορισμός.
