παρετίθετο δὲ τοῖς ἥρωσι δειπνοῦσι καὶ λάχανα. ὅτι δὲ οἴδασι τὰς λαχανείας δῆλον ἐκ τῶν παρὰ νείατον ὄρχον κοσμητῶν πρασιῶν ῾Od. 7.127'.' ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ <τοῖς> κακοχυμοτάτοις κρομύοις ἐχρῶντο:

ἐπὶ δὲ κρόμυον ποτοῦ ὄψον.

ἐπιμελουμένους δὲ αὐτοὺς εἰσάγει καὶ τῶν ἀκροδρύων ῾Od. 7.120':' ‘ὄγχνη γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ὄγχνῃ που γηράσκει, σῦκον δ᾽ ἐπὶ σύκῳ.' διὸ καὶ τῶν δένδρων τὰ μὲν καρποφόρα καλὰ προσαγορεύει ῾Od. 7.114':' ‘ἔνθα δένδρεα καλὰ πεφύκει, ὄγχναι καὶ ῥοιαὶ καὶ μηλέαι.' τὰ δ᾽ εἰς ξυλείαν εὔθετα μακρά, τοῖς ἐπιθέτοις τὰς χρήσεις διαστέλλων ῾Od. 5.238':'
