[39] γίνεται δὲ τοῦτο ταῖς ἐαριναῖς καὶ κατὰ θέρος ὥραις· ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐκ βαθέος ὕπνου περιαναστᾶσα τούς ¹² τε ὀφθαλμοὺς διοίγνυσι τά τε μεμυκότα τῶν στομίων ἀναστείλασα εὐρύνει, ὧν δ’ ἐστὶν ἐγκύμων πάντα ἀποτίκτει, πέταλα καὶ κληματίδας, ἕλικας, οἴναρα, καρπὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν· εἶθ’ ὅταν τελεσθῇ, παρέχεται τὰς τροφὰς οἷα μήτηρ τῷ γενομένῳ διά τινων ἀφανῶν πόρων, οἳ τοῖς ἐν γυναιξὶ μαστοῖς
ἀναλογοῦσι, καὶ οὐ πρότερον παύεται τρέφουσα ἢ τὸν καρπὸν τελεσφορηθῆναι·

[39] for then their nature, waking as it were out of a deep sleep, opens its eyes, and expands and widens its previously closed mouth; and then it brings forth all those things of which it was pregnant, leaves, and young shoots, and tendrils, and feelers, and fruit on all its branches; and then when these things have come to perfection it affords nourishment and food to them, as a mother does to her child by some invisible passages which are similar in principle to the breasts in women, and it never ceases to nourish them until the fruit be come to complete ripeness;
