Ὁμοίως δὲ ἐπειδὴ τῶν ποιούντων τὸν χρόνον τὰ ἐκφανέστατα διαστήματα δύο ταῦτα τυγχάνει τό τε τῆς ἡμέρας ἠρρενωμένον μᾶλλον, διὰ τὸ ἐν αὐτῇ θερμὸν καὶ δραστικόν, καὶ τὸ τῆς νυκτὸς τεθηλυσμένον μᾶλλον, διὰ τὸ ἐν αὐτῇ δίυγρον καὶ ἀναπαυστικόν, νυκτερινοὺς μὲν ἀκολούθως παραδεδώκασι τήν τε σελήνην καὶ τὸν τῆς Ἀφροδίτης, ἡμερινοὺς δὲ τόν τε ἥλιον καὶ τὸν τοῦ Διός, ἐπίκοινον δὲ κατὰ ταῦτα τὸν τοῦ Ἑρμοῦ καὶ ἐν μὲν τῷ ἑῴῳ σχήματι ἡμερινόν, ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑσπερίῳ νυκτερινόν.
