18. ἄλλοι δέ φασιν ὅτι μὴ δεῖ σῦκα προσφέρεσθαι μεσημβρίας ι νοσώδη γὰρ εἶναι τότε, ὡς καὶ Φερεκράτης ἐν Κραπατάλλοις εἴρηκεν. Ἀριστοφάνης δ᾽ ἐν Προαγῶνι:

κάμνοντα δ᾽ αὐτὸν τοῦ θέρους ἰδών ποτε
ἔτρωγ᾽ ἵνα κάμνοι, σῦκα τῆς μεσημβρίας.

καὶ Εὔβουλος ἐν Σφιγγοκαρίωνι::

νὴ τὸν Δί᾽, ἠσθένουν γάρ, ὦ βέλτιστε σύ,
φαγοῦσα πρῴην σῦκα τῆς μεσημβρίας.

Νικοφῶν δ᾽ ἐν Σειρῆσιν

ἐὰν δὲ γ᾽ ἡμῶν σῦκά τις μεσημβρίας
τραγὼν καθεύδῃ χλωρά, πυρετὸς εὐθέως
ἥκει τρέχων οὐκ ἄξιος τριωβόλου
κᾆθ᾽ οὗτος ἐπιπεσὼν ἐμεῖν ποιεῖ χολήν.
