Καθάπερ γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος τὰς ὥρας τῆς ἡμέρας, οὕτω καὶ ἡ σελήνη τὰς τῆς νυκτὸς κανονίζει καὶ πολλὴν ἑτέραν χρείαν παρέχει καὶ ἀέρος εὔκρατον χύσιν καὶ δρόσου γένεσιν πρὸς τὴν τῶν σπερμάτων βλάστην καὶ πολλὴν οἴκοθεν εἰς τὴν σύστασιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων παρεχομένη τὴν ὠφέλειαν καὶ μέση τοῦ χοροῦ τῶν ἀστέρων καὶ τῆς ἡλιακῆς ἱσταμένη λαμπηδόνος· τῆς μὲν γάρ ἐστιν ἐλάττων, τῶν δὲ ἀμείνων καὶ πολλῷ μείζων.
