[η΄. Περὶ ἀειζώου.] Ἀείζωον ἑκάτερον, καὶ τὸ μικρὸν καὶ τὸ μέγα, ξηραίνει μὲν ἐπ’ ὀλίγον, ὅτι καὶ στύφει μετρίως, ἀπηλλαγμένον ἁπάσης ἄλλης ἰσχυρᾶς ποιότητος, ὡς ἐπικρατεῖν ἐν αὐτῷ τὴν ὑδατώδη μᾶλλον οὐσίαν· ἐμψύχει δὲ οὐ μετρίως. ἔστι γὰρ τῆς τρίτης ἀποστάσεώς τε καὶ τάξεως τῶν ψυχόντων. ταῦτ’ ἄρα καὶ πρὸς ἐρυσιπέλατα μὲν, ἀλλὰ καὶ πρὸς ἕρπητας καὶ πρὸς τὰς ἐκ ῥευμάτων φλεγμονὰς ἁρμόττει.
