φυσικώτατα δὲ ἐκεῖνο εἴρηται, ὅτι τῶν πέντε βασιλέων δύο μὲν εἰς φρέατα ἐμπίπτουσι, τρεῖς δὲ πρὸς φυγὴν ὥρμησαν (Gen. 14, 10)· ἁφὴ μὲν γὰρ καὶ γεῦσις ἄχρι τῶν τοῦ σώματος βαθυτάτων ἀφικνοῦνται σπλάγχνοις παραπέμπουσαι τὰ οἰκεῖα πρὸς διοίκησιν, ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ καὶ ὦτα καὶ ὄσφρησις ἔξω τὰ πολλὰ βαίνουσαι ἀποδιδράσκουσι τὴν δουλείαν τοῦ σώματος.
