Original altgriech.: "Οἷον δὴ τὸ φαντασίαν λαμβάνειν ἐπὶ τῶν ὄψων καὶ τῶν τοιούτων ἐδωδίμων, ὅτι νεκρὸς οὗτος ἰχθύος, οὗτος δὲ νεκρὸς ὄρνιθος ἢ χοίρου' καὶ πάλιν, ὅτι ὁ Φάλερνος χυλάριόν ἐστι σταφυλίου καὶ ἡ περιπόρφυρος τριχία προβατίου αἱματίῳ κόγχης δεδευμένα."
Lat.: "Quemadmodum iam de obsoniis atque eiusmodi eduliis imaginem animo concipimus, ut, hoc piscis cadaver esse, illud cadaver avis aut porci, item, Falernum esse succulum uvulae, praetextam oviculae pilos, conchae cruore infectos."
