ὅτι τὰ μὲν ἄλλα τῆς αἰσθήσεως ὄργανα ἐξ αἵματος τρέφεται. τῷ δὲ κατὰ τὰς κοιλίας τοῦ ἐγκεφάλου πνεύματι (ἀπὸ γὰρ τούτων ἐδείχθη τὸ πρῶτον ὄργανον γιγνόμενον εἰς τὰς ἐνεργείας τῆς ψυχῆς) τὸ διὰ τῶν ἀρτηριῶν ἐπ' αὐτὰς ἀφικούμενον πνεῦμα, προσωφελούμενόν τι, κἀκ τῆς ἀναπνοῆς παρέχει τὴν τροφήν. ἅτε οὖν ἐν τῷ βάθει τοῦ σώματος ἀμφοτέρων τῶν τροφῶν οὐσῶν καταφέρεται τὸ πνεῦμα πρὸς τὸ βάθος.
