τοῦτον δὴ τὸν τρόπον καὶ τὰ τῶν αἰσθήσεων θρέμματα, ἐπειδὰν ὁ νοῦς ὑπτίως καὶ ῥᾳθύμως ἔχῃ, τῆς τῶν αἰσθητῶν ἀπλήστως ἐμφορούμενα ἀφθονίας ἀπαυχενίζει τε καὶ σκιρτᾷ καὶ πλημμελῶς ὅπῃ τύχοι φέρεται, καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ πρὸς πάντα ἀναπεπταμένοι τὰ ὁρατά, καὶ ἃ μὴ θέμις ὁρᾶν, ἐξώκειλαν, καὶ ἀκοαὶ πάσας φωνὰς παραδεχόμεναι καὶ μηδέποτε πληρούμεναι, διψῶσαι δὲ ἀεὶ περιεργίας καὶ φιλοπραγμοσύνης, ἔστι δὲ ὅπου καὶ ἀνελευθέρου χλεύης ἐκπεφοιτήκασιν.
