Αἱ δὲ γενέσεις τῶν χυμῶν ἐν τοῖς εἰρημένοις τρόποις ἢ ἐκ τοῦ εἴδους εἰς εἶδος ἢ ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίων εἰς τοὺς ἐναντίους ἀλλοιουμένων. κοινὴ δ᾽ ἡ ὕλη πάντων τὸ ὑγρόν· ἀλλοιοῖ δὲ καὶ ποιεῖ τὸ θερμὸν τὸ ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ τοῦ ἡλίου. τοῦτο γὰρ ὥσπερ εἴρηται μάλιστα τῶν φυτῶν οἰκεῖον οὐχ ὥσπερ τῶν ζώων τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς· ἐπεὶ μεταβολαί γε καὶ ἀλλοιώσεις καὶ ἐν ἐκείνοις εἰσὶ τῶν χυλῶν.
