ἐς τριακοσίας ὀργυιάς φασιν ἀνθρώποις κάτοπτα εἶναι τὰ ἐν τῇ θαλάττῃ, περαιτέρω γε μὴν οὐκέτι. εἴτε δὲ ὑπονέουσιν ἰχθύες ἔτι εἴτε καὶ θηρία, ἢ εἰ καὶ τούτοις μὲν ἄβατά ἐστι, θεοὶ δὲ θαλάττιοι καὶ ἐνάλιοι δαίμονες εἰλήχασι τὸν χῶρον καὶ μέντοι καὶ ὁ τῆς ὑγρᾶς οὐσίας δεσπότης, οὔτε ἐγὼ πολυπραγμονῶ οὔτε ἄλλος λέγει.
