δεῖ δὲ καὶ τὸν ἀέρα εἶναι καθαρόν, αἰθρίαν λαμπράν. κἀγώ, Τί δέ; τῷ ὄντι κυνηγέτης ἀγαθός ἐστιν; ἔφην. ἔγωγε, εἶπεν ὁ νεανίσκος, καὶ ἔλαφον καταπονῶ καὶ σῦν ὑφίσταμαι. ὄψει δὲ αὔριον, ἂν θέλῃς, ὦ ξένε. καὶ τὸν λαγὼν τοῦτον σύ, ἔφην, ἔλαβες; ἐγώ, ἔφη γελάσας, τῷ λιναρίῳ τῆς νυκτός· ἦν γὰρ αἰθρία πάνυ καλὴ καὶ ἡ σελήνη τηλικαύτη τὸ μέγεθος ἡλίκη οὐδεπώποτε ἐγένετο.
