[190] ἔχοντα καὶ κράσεις. 46 αὐτίκα τῶν χρωμάτων ἀντιλαμβανόμεθα πῶς; ἆρ’ οὐ σὺν ἀέρι καὶ φωτί, τοῖς ἐκτός, καὶ τῷ κατ’ αὐτὴν τὴν
ὄψιν ὑγρῷ; γλυκὺ δὲ καὶ πικρὸν τίνα τρόπον δοκιμάζεται; μὴ δίχα τῶν καθ’ ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς ἐνστομίων χυλῶν ὅσοι κατὰ φύσιν ἢ παρὰ φύσιν; οὐ δήπου; τί δ’; αἱ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιθυμιωμένων ὀσμαὶ μὴ τὰς ἁπλᾶς καὶ εἱλικρινεῖς τῶν σωμάτων φύσεις παριστᾶσιν; ἢ τὰς κεκραμένας ἔκ τε αὐτῶν καὶ ἀέρος, ἔστι δ’ ὅτε καὶ τοῦ τήκοντος τὰ σώματα πυρὸς
¹² καὶ τῆς κατὰ τοὺς μυκτῆρας δυνάμεως;

Some one will say, We at once comprehend colours. How so? Do we not do so by means of the external things, air and light, and also by the moisture which exists in our eyes themselves? And in what way are sweet and bitter comprehended? Is it apart from the moisture in our mouths? And as to all the flavours which are in accordance with, or at variance with nature, are not they in the same case? What, again, are we to say of the smells arising from perfumes which are burnt? Do they exhibit plain unmixed simple natures, or rather qualities compounded of themselves and of the air, and sometimes also of the fire which consumes their bodies, and also of the faculty existing in our own nostrils?
