λόγον; Φέρε, ἴδω μετὰ σοῦ, εἰ μὴ ἐν δέοντι, εἴπερ γάρ μοι καλεῖς τι ὀδύνην σώματος· καλεῖς μέντοι. Ταύτης τοίνυν, εἰ μὲν ἐξ ἴσου τὸ σῶμρ ὑποδύσαιτʼ ἄν, καὶ ἀνακραθεῖσα ἐπιεικῶς ὅλῳ διετάραξεν αὐτοῦ τὴν κατὰ φύσιν οὐσίαν, καθάπερ σίδηρον πῦρ, αὐτὸ τοῦτο, ὅ καλοῦμεν πῦρ· ὑποκοριζόμενοι δʼ οἱ ἰατρικοὶ μετέβαλλον τοὔνομα, ὡς ἔλαττον ἡμῖν τὸ δεινὸν φανούμενον, εἰ πυρετὸς καλοῖτο, ἀλλὰ μὴ πῦρ.
