μυθία ὑπὲρ τοῦ μὴ ἐκκακεῖν τὸν ἀκούοντα τῶν τοιούτων ἀναγνωσμάτων, λεκτέον. Ὥσπερ τοίνυν αἱ ἐπῳδαὶ δύναμίν τινα ἔχουσι φυσικὴν καὶ μὴ νοῶν ὁ κατεπᾳδόμενος λαμβάνει τι ἐκ τῆς ἐπῳδῆς κατὰ τὴν φύσιν τῶν φθόγγων τῆς ἐπῳδῆς εἴτε εἰς βλάβην εἴτε εἰς ἴασιν σώματος ἢ ψυχῆς ἑαυτοῦ· οὕτω μοι νόει πάσης ἐπῳδῆς δυνατωτέραν εἶναι τὴν ὀνομασίαν τῶν ἐν ταῖς θείαις γραφαῖς ὀνομάτων. Εἰσὶ γάρ τινες δυνάμεις ἐν ἡμῖν, ὧν αἱ μὲν κρείττονες διὰ τούτων τῶν οἱονεὶ ἐπῳδῶν τρέφονται συγγενεῖς οὖσαι αὐταῖς καὶ ἡμῶν μὴ νοούντων
