οὐδὲν δὲ ἐν τῷ ὄφει φρόνιμον, πλὴν <τῶν> δύο τούτων, ὅτι ἐν τῷ γινώσκων ὅτι ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ πᾶσα ζωὴ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει καὶ δεδιὼς τὴν ἀνωτέρω πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰρημένην ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον προσταγὴν ὅτι »φυλάξεις αὐτοῦ κεφαλήν, αὐτὸς δέ σου πτέρναν«, ὅλον τὸ σῶμα ἐνειλήσας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ κρύπτει μὲν τὸ κρανίον ἓαυτοῦ, παραδίδωσι δὲ τὸ ἄλλο σῶμα ἐν ὑπερβολῇ πανουργίας.
