— — IV 2, 4 p. 665 F τὸ κεραύνιον πῦρ ἀκριβείαι καὶ λεπτότητι θαυμαστόν ἐστιν, αὐτόθεν τε τὴν γένεσιν ἐκ καθαρᾶς καὶ ἁγνῆς ἔχον οὐσίας καὶ πᾶν εἴ τι συμμίγνυται νοτερὸν ἢ γεῶδες αὐτῷ τῆς περὶ τὴν κίνησιν ὀξύτητος ἀποσειομένης καὶ διακαθαιρούσης. διόβλητον μὲν οὐδέν, ὥς φησι Δ., 〈οἷον μὴ τὸ〉 παρ’ αἰθρίης στέγειν 〈εὐαγὲς〉 σέλας.
