Παραιτοῦμαι δὲ ἐνταῦθα τὸν Ἀρεταῖον καὶ ἑτέρους, ἰδίαν εἰπόντας διάγνωσιν τῶν ἐπὶ χυμοῖς πυρετῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀχώριστον τὸ μηδὲν τῶν προκαταρκτικῶν αἰτίων ἡγήσασθαι τῶν τοιούτων πυρετῶν, ὅτι καὶ οὐδετέρῳ τῶν ἄλλων γενῶν τοῦθ᾽ ὑπάρχει, διὰ τὸ τοὺς μὲν ἐφημέρους ἅπαντας ἐπὶ ταῖς προκαταρκτικαῖς αἰτίαις συνίστασθαι, τοὺς δὲ ἑκτικούς, ὅταν ἄνευ τούτων γεννῶνται, μηδὲ ἐξ ἀρχῆς εἰσβάλλειν, καίτοι μηδένος οἵου τ᾽ ὄντος, οὐ πυρετοῦ μόνον, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ νοσήματος οὑτινοσοῦν, ἄνευ τινὸς τῶν προκαταρχόντων ἄρχεσθαι.
