Μαῖα ὁρωμένη τὰ κρυπτὰ ἐλέγχει διὰ τὸ τὰ ἀπόρρητα καὶ κεκρυμμένα ἐρευνᾶν καὶ βλάβας σημαίνει καὶ τοῖς νοσοῦσι θάνατον ἐξάγει γὰρ τοῦ περιέχοντος ἀεὶ τὸ περιεχόμενον καὶ δίδωσι τῇ γῇ. τοὺς δὲ βία ὑπό τινος κατεχομένους ἀπαλλάσσει· καὶ γὰρ τὸ περιεχόμενον τοῦ περέχοντος ἀπαλλάσσει σῶμα καὶ οὕτω κουφότερον ποιεῖ. πολλάκις δὲ ὁρωμένη μαῖα γυναικὶ μὴ ἐχούσῃ ἐν γαστρὶ νόσον προαγορεύει, ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ ἐχούσῃ οὐδὲν ἐπίσημον διὰ τὴν περὶ τὸν τοκετὸν ἐλπίδα.
