[23] Hoc aliquis secutus exemplar lapidem asperum aspero inposuit ad similitudinem dentium, quorum pars immobilis motum alterius exspectat; deinde utriusque attritu grana franguntur et saepius regeruntur, donec ad minutiam frequenter trita redigantur. Tum farinam aqua sparsit et adsidua tractatione perdomuit unxitque panem, quem primo cinis calidus et fervens testa percoxit, deinde fumi paulatim reperti et alia genera, quorum fervor serviret arbitrio." Non multum afuit, quin sutrinum quoque inventum a sapientibus diceret.
