ὅτι μὲν οὖν ὥσπερ ἐναντίως τῶν μὲν ἄνω τῶν δὲ κάτω συμβαίνει τοὺς χυμοὺς καὶ τὰς ὀσμὰς καὶ ἁπλῶς τὰς τοιαύτας δυνάμεις ἐκ τῶν εἰρημένων δεῖ θεωρεῖν. ὅτι δ᾽ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῖς μέρεσι τοῖς ἄνω πᾶσιν οὔθ᾽ οἱ χυμοὶ τυγχάνουσιν οὔθ᾽ αἱ ὀσμαὶ σχεδὸν οὐ πόρρω τῶν εἰρημένων αἰτιῶν ἐστίν· ὡς μὲν γὰρ ἁπλῶς εἰπεῖν ἔχει τινʹ ὁμοιότητα καὶ κατὰ τοὺς χυμοὺς καὶ κατὰ τὰς ὀσμὰς ἕκαστον τῶν μερῶν διαφέρει δὲ τῷ μᾶλλον καὶ ἧττον.
