  • "καρύων ἢ καστάνων ἀμφοτέρως γὰρ καλεῖται δύσπεπτος μὲν ἡ κατεργασία τῇ κοιλίᾳ καὶ φυσώδης ἡ πέψις γίνεται, παχύνει δὲ τὰς ἕξεις, ἐάν τις αὐτῶν κρατήσῃ, τὰ δὲ ἀμύγδαλα καὶ τὰ Ἡρακλεωτικὰ καὶ τὰ Περσικὰ κάρυα καὶ τἄλλα τὰ τοιαῦτα χείρω ἐστὶ τούτων, χρὴ δὲ μηδὲν ὅλως τῆς τοιαύτης ἰδέας ἄπυρον ἐσθίειν ἔξω τῶν χλωρῶν ἀμυγδάλων, ἀλλὰ τὰ μὲν ἕψειν, τὰ δὲ φρύγειν.
