τοὺς ἐχίνους ὁ κλύδων κυλίων ἐς τὰ ἔξω καὶ προσαράττων τῷ ξηρῷ τῆς θαλάττης βιαιότατα ἐκβάλλει. τοῦτο τοίνυν ἐκεῖνοι δεδιότες, ὅταν αἴσθωνται φρίττον τὸ κῦμα καὶ μέλλον ἁδρότερον ὑπανίστασθαι, ταῖς ἀκάνθαις ἀναιροῦνται λιθίδια, ὅσα εὔκολά ἐστι φέρειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔχουσιν ἕρμα, καὶ οὐ ῥᾳδίως κυλίονται, οὐδὲ πάσχουσιν ὃ δεδοίκασιν.
