Headword:
Μέλι
Adler number: mu,499
Translated headword: honey
Vetting Status: low
Translation: This is sweet to sense-perception, but bitter for the digestion; for they say that it produces bile and turns the humors to the opposite of its taste -- which indeed, rather than the bitterness of its nature, proves its origin.
Greek Original:Μέλι: τοῦτο γλυκὺ μέν ἐστι τὴν αἴσθησιν, πικρὸν δὲ τὴν ἀνάδοσιν: χολῆς γὰρ αὐτό φασι ποιητικὸν εἶναι καὶ τρέπειν τοὺς χυμοὺς εἰς τοὐναντίον τῆς γεύσεως: ὃ δὴ καὶ μᾶλλον τῆς ἐκ φύσεως αὐτοῦ πικρότητος κατηγορεῖ τὴν γένεσιν.
