Translation
Eating [fagei=n ] differs from eating up [katafagei=n ]: eating [means] in order, eating up [means] all at once. But drinking up [katapiei=n ] [means] eating what is not chewed.1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Καταφαγεῖν, καταπιεῖν· φαγεῖν διαφέρει τοῦ καταφαγεῖν· φαγεῖν μὲν τὸ τάξει, καταφαγεῖν δὲ τὸ ἀθρόως. καταπιεῖν δὲ τὸ μήτε μασώμενον ἐσθίειν.
