Ól cen íttu cen mescai.
Proind shéim cen sáith cen gortai.

(Drinking * without * thirst * without * drunkenness
Meal * light * without * fullness * without * hunger)

In eating, neither sated nor hungry.

This dietary advice comes to us in the form of a marginal note on page 100 of the Leabhar Breac, which is quoted s.v. “séim” in DIL.
