ἢν δὲ καὶ εἰς συγκοπὴν τράπωνται, γίγνεται γὰρ καὶ  τόδε· τῆς μὲν δυνάμιος λυομένης, ἱδρῶτι δὲ χεομένου τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, πάντων δὲ εἰς τὸ ἐκτὸς τὴν φορὴν ποιευμένων τῶν ὑγρῶν, καὶ τοῦ τόνου λυομένου καὶ τοῦ πνεύματος, ἔς τε ἀκηδίην μὲν τῆς παραφορῆς, δέος δὲ εἰς ἀτμὸν λυθῆναι καὶ ὑγρασίην τὸν ἄνθρωπον · ἄλκαρ μοῦνόν ἐστι οἶνος, θρέψαι μὲν ὠκέως κατʼ οὐσίην, καὶ πάντη μέχρι περάτων μολεῖν· τόνῳ δὲ προσθεῖναι τόνον, καὶ πνεῦμα νεναρκωμένον ἐγεῖραι, ψῦξιν ἀλεῆναι, στῦψαι πλάδον, φερομένων ἔξω καὶ Ῥεόντων κρατῆσαι, ἡδὺς μὲν ὀσφραίνεσθαι ἐς ἡδονὴν, κραταιὸς δὲ στηρίξαι δύναμιν ἐς ζωήν· ἄριστος δὲ μειλίξαι θυμὸν ἐν παραφορῇ · τάδε μέντοι ποθεὶς ἅμα πάντα πρήσσει. θυμόν τε γὰρ πρηο̈́νονται μαλθάξι φρενῶν, καὶ ἐξ ἑωυτέων ἐς δύναμιν τρέφονται· ἀτὰρ ἠδὲ ἑωυτέοισι ἐμπνέουσι ἐς ἡδονήν.the last clause of this sentence seems decidedly to be corrupt. How much is it to be lamented that this eulogium on wine, which appears to be so judicious and so eloquent, should be marred, in so far, by the corruptions of the text! Petit suggests ἑωυτέους ἐμπλέουσι, which would be an improvement of the sense, in my opinion; but it is rejected by Ermerins.
