3. Ἐν Αἴνῳ ὀσπριοφαγεῦντες ξυνεχέως, θήλειαι, ἄρσενες, σκελέων ἀκρατέες ἐγένοντο, καὶ διετέλεον· ἀτὰρ καὶ ὀροβοφαγέοντες γονυαλγέες. 4. Ἐπιτηδεύειν ὀξυθυμίην ἐμποιέειν καὶ χρώματος ἀναλήψιος ἕνεκα καὶ ἐγχυμώσιος, καὶ εὐθυμίας, καὶ φόβους, καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα· καὶ ἢν μὲν τὸ ἄλλο σῶμα ξυννοσέῃ, ξυνιῆσθαι, εἰ δὲ μὴ, τοῦτο. 5. Ἡ Στυμάργεω οἰκέτις, ᾗ οὐδὲ αἷμα ἐγένετο, ὡς ἔτεκε θυγατέρα, ἀπέστραπτο τὸ στόμα τοῦ αἰδοίου, καὶ ἐς ἰσχίον καὶ σκέλος ὀδύνη, παρὰ σφυρὸν τμηθεῖσα ἐῤῥήϊσεν· καίτοι καὶ τρόμοι τὸ σῶμα πᾶν κατεῖχον· ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ τὴν πρόφασιν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν καὶ τῆς προφάσιος τὴν ἀρχήν.
