VII, ch. 2 [Cookery] They live that they may eat, but he himself [Socrates] eats that he may live.       - IV, 15 [Life] I have heard a greater storm in a boiling pot.       - Deipnosophistoe (VIII, 19),         Dorian, a flutist, ridiculing Timotheos, a zither player, who imitated a storm at sea         [Storms] On one occasion some one put a very little wine into a wine cooler, and said that it was sixteen years old.
