Εἰ δ’ οὕτω διαλύσας αὐτὸ εἴποι τις· ὁ γὰρ Ἀχελῷος ποταμὸς ῥεῖ μὲν ἐκ Πίνδου ὄρους, ἐκβάλλει δὲ παρ’ Οἰνιάδας ἐς θάλασσαν· πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἐκβολῆς τὸ Οἰνιαδῶν πεδίον λίμνην ποιεῖ, ὥστ’ αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὰς χειμερινὰς ἐφόδους τῶν πολεμίων ἔρυμα καὶ πρόβλημα γίνεσθαι τὸ ὕδωρ· εἰ δή τις οὕτω μεταβαλὼν ἑρμηνεύσειεν αὐτό, πολλὰς μὲν ἀναπαύλας παρέξει τῷ λόγῳ, τὸ μέγεθος δ’ ἀφαιρήσεται.
