Κήλη ζημίας ἐστὶ σημαντικὴ τοῦτο μὲν διὰ τὸ ἰσόψηφον τοῦτο δὲ ὅτι καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐπιφύεται τῷ σώματι μήτε κάλλος μήτʼ ἰσχὺν προστιθέντα ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς οὔσης εὐπρεπείας παραιρούμενα τὸ σῶμα βλάβης καὶ φροντίδος ἐστὶ σημαντικά. ἐπειδὴ δὲ πάθος ἐστὶν ἡ κήλη, καὶ τοῦτο περὶ τὰ αἰδοῖα, οὐδὲν ἧττον καὶ τὴν ἐπὶ τούτοις λύπην σημαίνει καὶ ἀνίαν περὶ ὧν ἀκριβέστερον ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ βιβλίῳ ἐν τῷ περὶ σώματος λόγῳ εἴρηκα.
