ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν ἴσως ἄλλην τινὰ ἔχει θεωρίαν. ἔπειτα κἀκεῖνο ἄτοπον εἰ οἱ χυμοὶ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ πικροῦ καὶ γλυκέος μιγνυμένων ὥσπερ ἐκ τῶν στοιχείων τὰ σώματα. πάλιν δ᾽ αὖθ᾽ ἕτερον εἰ ἐκ μὲν τούτων μηδὲν ταῦτα δὲ ἐκ τῶν ἄλλων· οὐ γὰρ ἀρχῶν ἡ τοιαύτη φύσις· εἰ μὴ ἄρα πλεοναχῶς αἱ ἀρχαὶ καὶ κατὰ πλείους τρόπους ὅπερ ἔοικεν ὥσπερ κατὰ συστοιχίαν ἐνίων λεγομένων. ἀλλ᾽ οὖν δὴ τούτων μὲν πέρι λόγος ἕτερος.
