“58. Λυγκεὺς δ᾽ ὁ Σάμιος, ὁ Θεοφράστου γνώριμος, καὶ τὴν σὺν ὀπῷ χρῆσιν αὐτῆς οἶδεν. ἀναγράφων γοῦν τὸ Πτολεμαίου συμπόσιόν φησιν οὕτως ` ' μήτρας τινὸς περιφερομένης ἐν ὄξει καὶ ὀπῷ.` τοῦ δὲ ὀποῦ μέμνηται Ἀντιφάνης ἐν Δυσέρωσι περὶ Κυρήνης τὸν λόγον ποιούμενος [p. 434]

ἐκεῖσε δ᾽ οὐ πλέω
ὅθεν διεσπάσθημεν, ἐρρῶσθαι λέγων
ἅπασιν, ἵπποις, σιλφίῳ, συνωρίσιν,
καυλῷ, κέλησι, μασπέτοις, πυρετοῖς, ὀπῷ.
τῆς δὲ διαφορᾶς τῆς περὶ τὴν ἐκτομίδα μνημονεύει Ἵππαρχος ὁ τὴν Αἰγυπτιακὴν Ἰλιάδα συνθεὶς ἐν τούτοις:

ἀλλὰ λοπὰς μ᾽ εὔφραιν᾽ ἢ μήτρης καλὰ πρόσωπα
ἐκβολάδος, δέλφαξ δ᾽ ἐν κλιβάνῳ ἡδέα ὄζων.
Σώπατρος δ᾽ ἐν μὲν Ἱππολύτῳ φησὶν

ἀλλ᾽ οἷα μήτρα καλλίκαρπος ἐκβολὰς
δίεφθα λευκανθεῖσα τυροῦται δέμας,
ἐν δὲ Φυσιολόγῳ:

μήτρας ὑείας οὐκ ἀφεψηθεὶς τόμος,
τὴν δηξίθυμον ἐντὸς ὀξάλμην ἔχων.
ἐν δὲ Σίλφαις:

μήτρας ὑείας ἑφθὸν ὡς φάγῃς τόμον,
δριμεῖαν ὠθῶν πηγανῖτιν εἰς χολήν.
