πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἀναρίθμητα εἰς παραμυθίαν καὶ ἀπόλαυσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις παρὰ τοῦ κρείττονος δεδώρη- ται, ἐξαιρέτως δ’ ὁ καρπὸς ἐλαίας τε καὶ ἀμπέλου, τὸ μὲν ἀνακτήσεως ψυῆς καὶ φαιδρότητος ἐπέχον λόγον, τὸ δ’ ἕτερον πρὸς τῇ ἀπολαύσει καὶ θεραπείᾳ τῶν σωμάτων κατάλληλον. θαῦμα δ’ ἐξαίσιον καὶ ἡ ἐνδελεχὴς καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ποταμῶν φορὰ νύκτωρ τε καὶ μεθ’ ἡμέραν, σύμβολον ἀενάου καὶ ἀδιαλείπτου βίου· ἰσοδυναμεῖ δὲ καὶ νυκτερινὴ διαδοχή.
