Ἀλλ᾽ ἀπορῆσαι ἄξιον, διὰ τί καὶ τὸ παρὰ φύσιν γένος ἐστὶ τοῦ πυρετοῦ; δοκεῖ γάρ πως διαφορὰν αὐτὸ εἶναι, ᾗ διαφέρει θερμοῦ τοῦ κατὰ φύσιν ὁ πυρετός, μόνη δ’ ἡ θερμασία γένος· ὁ μὲν οὖν περὶ τοῦ τῶν ὁμωνύμων λόγος, ἐκεῖνα χρὴ διορίσασθαι πρῶτον, περὶ οὗ αὐτῷ πρόκειται λέγειν, ἵνα σαφὴς γένηται, ὡς περὶ κυνὸς τῷ ἀστρῴῳ καὶ τῷ χερσαίῳ διοριζόμεθα λέγοντες.
