καὶ μὴν τοὺς ὀλίσθους ἀνάγκη τούτους περὶ ἕκαστον ἡμῶν ἀεὶ συμβαίνειν, κἂν τὰ μάλισθ’ ἡμεῖς ἠκριβωμένοις τοῖς ὀργάνοις χρώμενοι τυγχάνωμεν· τὰς γὰρ φυσικὰς κῆρας καὶ τὸν ἀκούσιον πλάνον εἰσάπαν ἐκδῦναι χαλεπόν, μᾶλλον δ’ ἀμήχανον, ἀπείρων ὅσων ψευδοῦς δόξης ποιητικῶν ἔν τε ἡμῖν καὶ περὶ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐκτὸς ἡμῶν ἐν ἅπαντι τῷ θνητῷ γένει ὑπαρχόντων. οὐκ ἄρα ὑγιῶς κτήμαθ’ ἑαυτοῦ ὑπέλαβε τὰ πάντα, κἂν φρυαττόμενος ὑψαυχενῇ.
