Ὁ χρόνος δὲ διαιρούμενος οὐδὲ ἀριθμῆσαι ῥᾴδιον ὅσα σοι συντελεῖ· τὸ γὰρ κατὰ χρόνον πότερα νῦν οὐκ ἐχρῆν, ἀλλὰ πέρυσι καὶ προπέρυσιν, ὅτε ἔδωκεν ὁ νόμος, γράφεσθαι, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἔξεστι. χρόνον δὲ ὁρίζω καὶ τὴν ἑορτήν, Διονύσια, Παναθήναια, πόλεμον, εἰρήνην, ἡλικίαν νεωτέρου καὶ πρεσβυτέρου, συμπόσιον, νύκτα σκοτεινήν, ἐπισέληνον, χειμῶνα, ἑτέραν ὥραν· καὶ ὁ καιρὸς ἐν χρόνου μοίρᾳ, καὶ τὸ πρότερον καὶ τὸ νῦν καὶ τὸ μέλλον.
