ὃ δ’ αἰνίττεται διὰ τῆς εὐχῆς, μηνυτέον· ἑρμηνεύεται Δὰν κρίσις· τὴν οὖν ἐξετάζουσαν καὶ ἀκριβοῦσαν καὶ διακρίνουσαν καὶ τρόπον τινὰ δικάζουσαν ἕκαστα τῆς ψυχῆς δύναμιν ὡμοίωσε δράκοντι—ζῷον δ’ ἐστὶ καὶ τὴν κίνησιν ποικίλον καὶ συνετὸν ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα καὶ πρὸς ἀλκὴν ἕτοιμον καὶ τοὺς χειρῶν ἄρχοντας ἀδίκων ἀμύνασθαι δυνατώτατον—, οὐ μὴν τῷ φίλῳ καὶ συμβούλῳ ζωῆς—Εὔαν πατρίῳ γλώττῃ καλεῖν αὐτὴν ἔθος—, ἀλλὰ τῷ πρὸς Μωυσέως ἐξ ὕλης χαλκοῦ δημιουργηθέντι, ὃν οἱ δηχθέντες ὑπὸ τῶν ἰοβόλων ὄφεων καίτοι μέλλοντες τελευτήσειν ὁπότε κατίδοιεν ἐπιβιοῦν
