Chapter X: Book VII: Question 1. Plato defended for saying that drink passeth

through the lungs, 363-367. 2. What humored man is he whom Plato
calls κερασβόλος, and why do seeds that fall on oxen’s horns become
ἀτεράμονα? 368-370. 3. Why is the middle of wine, the top of oil,
and the bottom of honey the best? 370, 371. 4. Why did the ancient
Romans remove the table before all the meat was eaten, and why not
extinguish the lamp? 372-375. To leave something for the servants,
374. “Leave something for the Medes”: a proverb in Boeotia, 375. 5.
That we ought carefully to preserve ourselves from pleasures arising
from bad music; and how it may be done, 376-380. Bad music, the loose
ode, enervates and debauches the mind. Have recourse to that which
is pure and good, ib. 6. Concerning those guests that are called
shadows, whether being invited by some of the invited guests, but not
by the entertainer, they ought to go to the house; and if so, in what
cases? 381-387. Such a person is placed at a disadvantage on joining
the company, and why, 382. But an invited guest, who has liberty to
invite others may do so, yet with due caution and discretion; and
the others may go, 385, 386. 7. Whether flute-girls may be admitted
to a feast, 387, 388. 8. What sort of music is fittest for an
entertainment? 389-394. Not tragedy, it is too grave and dignified,
390. But the New Comedy, as that of Menander, or a song with pipe or
harp, 391, 392. 9. That the Greeks, as well as the Persians, were
accustomed to debate state affairs at their entertainments, 394. 10.
Was that a good custom? 395-398. Are men wise over their wine? 396.
Men may drink freely, and yet not lose their wit, 397.
