περὶ τῶν ἀτρόφων ἐπὶ τῶν μηδ’ ὅλως φθανόντων ἐπὶ τὸν προκείμενον χρόνον ἀλλ’ ἐν τοῖς ἐλάττοσιν ἀριθμοῖς δι’ ὑπερβολὴν τῆς κακώσεως φθειρομένων. ἔνθεν κἀκεῖνος μὲν πολυμερεστέραν ἔχει τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν, οὗτος δὲ ὁλοσχερεστέραν. ἁπλῶς γάρ, ἐάν τε κεκεντρωμένον τὸ ἕτερον τῶν φώτων, καὶ τῶν κακοποιῶν 6 ἕτερος συνῇ διαμηκίζη, ταῦτα δὲ μοιρικῶς καὶ κατ’ ἰσοσκελίαν μηδενὸς μὲν ἀγαθοποιοῦ συσχηματιζομένου, τοῦ δὲ οἰκοδεσπότου τῶν φώτων ἐν τοῖς τῶν κακοποιῶν τόποις κατειλημμένου, τὸ γεννώμενον οὐ τραφήσεται, παρ’ αὐτὰ δὲ ἕξει τὸ τέλος τῆς ζωῆς·
