ὅτι μὲν γὰρ καὶ ἡ θάλαττα ἱκανὴ προκαλέσασθαι καὶ εἰς ἐπιθυμίαν ἐπισπάσασθαι ἐν γαλήνῃ φανεῖσα, ἴστε, κἂν μὴ εἴπω· ὅτε, εἰ καὶ παντάπασιν ἠπειρώτης καὶ ἀπειρόπλους τις εἴη, πάντως ἂν ἐθελήσειε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐμβῆναι καὶ περιπλεῦσαι καὶ πολὺ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀποσπάσαι, καὶ μάλιστα εἰ βλέποι τὴν μὲν αὔραν κούφως ἐπουριάζουσαν τὴν ὀθόνην, τὴν δὲ ναῦν προσηνῶς τε καὶ λείως ἐπʼ ἄκρων ἠρέμα διολισθάνουσαν τῶν κυμάτων.
