Ἀρχὴν δὲ λέγω τὴν οἷα μεγέθους, οὐδὲ ταύτης τὴν ἀμερῆ, ἀλλὰ τὴν δυναμένην τῷ ὅλῳ μεγέθει συνδιαιρεῖσθαι· ἀληθὴς γὰρ τῷ ὄντι πυρετὸς ἡ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ παρὰ φύσιν ἀναφθεῖσα θερμότης, κἂν μήπω τῷ ὅλῳ μεταδοθῇ, τῷ ποσῷ μόνον τῆς ἐν τῷ παντὶ διαφέρουσα, ἐπεὶ καὶ τὸ ὅλον ἡ καρδία μόνη δυνατεῖ, οὐκ ἄλλο τῶν μορίων
