ὅταν γὰρ καθ’ ἑκάτερον τοῖχον τῆς ψυχῆς νεὼς τρόπον, τόν τε νοῦ καὶ αἰσθήσεως, ὑπὸ βίας τῶν καταπνεόντων εἰς αὐτὴν παθῶν τε καὶ ἀδικημάτων ἀντιρρεπούσης καὶ κλινομένης ἐξαιρόμενον ἐπιβαίνῃ τὸ κῦμα, τόθ’ ὡς εἰκὸς ὑπέραντλος ὁ νοῦς γινόμενος καταποντοῦται· βυθὸς δέ ἐστιν, εἰς ὃν καταποντοῦται καὶ καταδύεται, σῶμα αὐτὸ τὸ ἀπεικασθὲν Αἰγύπτῳ.
