πληθύοντος δ’ οὕτω τοῦ τῶν ἀνθρώπων γένους, τέχναι τε τῷ βίῳ χρησιμεύουσαι ἀνηυρίσκοντο, πληθύει τ’ οὐδὲν ἧττον καὶ ἡ τῶν ἀλόγων ζώων γενεά, ἐφ’ ἑκάστου γένους ἐξαιρέτου τινὸς φυσικῆς δυνάμεως εὑρισκομένης· ἡμέρων ζώων τὸ πρᾶσον καὶ ἐπιπειθὲς ἀνθρώπῳ, ἀγρίων δὲ ῥώμη καὶ ταχυτὴς καὶ τῆς ἐκ τῶν κινδύνων σωτηρίας φυσική τις πρόνοια.
