Οἱ μὲν οὐν διὰ ψήφων τε καὶ ἀριθμῶν στοιχείων τε καὶ ὀνομάτων μαντεύεσθαι νομίζοντες ταύτην ἀρχὴν ἐπιχειρήσεως τοῦ κατ’ αὐτοὺς λόγου ποιοῦνται, φάσκοντες πυθμένα εἶναι ἑκάστου τῶν ἀριθμῶν, ἐπὶ μὲν τῶν χιλιάδων τοσαύτας μονάδας, ὅσαι ἂν ὦσι χιλιάδες, οἷον τῶν ἑξακισχιλίων ὁ πυθμὴν μονάδες ἕξ, τῶν ἑπτακισχιλίων μονάδες ἐπτά, τῶν ὀκτακισχιλίων μονάδες ὀκτώ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λοιπῶν ὁμοίως κατὰ τὰ αὐτά·
