[Sca-cooks] Galen on Food and Diet?

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

Ok, I finally started reading Galen: On Food and Diet (translation by Mark
Grant).  Of course, I started in the middle, with the book 'on the
properties of foods, book 2' and I really am uncomfortable with the
quality of the translation. (For instance, Galen keeps referring to the
autumn fruits in terms translated as 'apples, pears, peaches...' but
there's no section labelled peaches, but there ARE 2 section labels
translated as apricots...)

Has anyone else looked at this translation and have an opinion about this?
