Πολλοὶ μέντοι ἤδη καὶ εὐφόρως ἤνεγκαν καὶ ὑγιεινῶς τὴν κύφωσιν ἄχρι γήρως, μάλιστα δὲ οὗτοι, οἷσιν ἂν ἐς τὸ εὔσαρκον καὶ πιμελῶδες προτράπηται τὸ σῶμα. ὀλίγοι μὲν ἤδη καὶ τῶν τοιούτων ὑπὲρ ἑξήκοντα ἔτη ἐβίωσαν, οἱ δὲ πλεῖστοι βραχυβιώτεροί εἰσι. Διὰ ῥώμην φύσεως καὶ τοῦ πάθους τὴν ἐπιείκειαν, ἤδη δὲ καὶ τὴν ὅλην δίαιταν, ἣν ὁ πάσχων διαιτᾶται, μέχρι γήρως ἔνιοι τὴν κύρωσιν ὑγιεινῶς ἤνεγκαν.
