  • ἐφ’ ὧν οὖν ζῳών φύσει λαιμάργων ὑπαρχόντων ἥ τ’ εὐρυχωρία τοῦ στόματόσ ἐστι δαψιλὴσ ἥ τε τῆσ γαστρὸσ θέσισ ἐγγύσ, ὡσ ἐπὶ συνόδοντόσ τε καὶ χάννησ, οὐδὲν θαυμαστόν, ὅταν ἱκανῶσ πεινάσαντα διώκῃ τι τῶν μικροτέρων ζῳών, εἶτ’ ἤδη πλησίον ᾖ τοῦ συλλαβεῖν, ἀνατρέχειν ἐπειγούσησ τῆσ ἐπιθυμίασ εἰσ τὸ στόμα τὴν γαστέρα. (Galen, On the Natural Faculties., G, section 839)
