ὁ δὲ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης τὴν μειρακιώδη καὶ τρίτην ἡλικίαν παραλαβὼν ἐπὶ τὴν ἑξῆς ὀκταετίαν κατὰ τὸν ἴσον ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἰδίας περιόδου, κίνησιν εἰκότως τῶν σπερματικῶν πόρων ἐμποιεῖν ἄρχεται κατὰ τὴν πλήρωσιν αὐτῶν καὶ ὁρμὴν ἐπὶ τὴν τῶν ἀφροδισίων συνέλευσιν, ὅτε μάλιστα λύσσα τις ἐγγίνεται ταῖς ψυχαῖς καὶ ἀκρασία καὶ πρὸς τὰ τυχόντα τῶν ἀφροδισίων ἔρως καὶ φλεγμονῆς ἀπάτη καὶ τοῦ προπετοῦς ἀβλεψία.
