Συμβαίνει δ’ ἐν τοῖς σφόδρα ὑψηλοῖς ἥκιστα γίνεσθαι χάλαζαν· καίτοι ἔδει, ὥσπερ καὶ τὴν χιόνα ὁρῶμεν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς μάλιστα γινομένην. Ἐντεῦθεν λοιπὸν τῆς Ἀναξαγορείου δόξης ὁ ἔλεγχος, καὶ τέως ὅτι τοῖς φαινομένοις ἡ ὑπόθεσις μάχεται. οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοτάτοις τόποις ὦπται γινομένη χάλαζα. καίτοι γε εἰ ἠλήθευεν Ἀναξαγόρας, ἐκεῖ μᾶλλον αὐτὴν ἔδει συνίστασθαι, ἔνθα καὶ τὸ νέφος ὠθεῖτο· καὶ γὰρ ἡ χιὼν ἐκ τῶν ὑψηλοτέρων ὀρέων κατιοῦσα φαίνεται. ψευδὴς ἄρα ἡ Ἀναξαγόρου ὑπόθεσις καὶ τοῖς φαινομένοις ἀσύμφωνος.
