οὗτος μὲν οὖν τὰς ἐπιφερομένας πληγὰς ἑκατέρᾳ τῶν χειρῶν ἀποσείεται καὶ τὸν αὐχένα περιάγων ὧδε κἀκεῖσε τὸ μὴ τυφθῆναι φυλάσσεται, πολλάκις δὲ καὶ δακτύλοις ποδῶν ἄκροις ἐπιβεβηκὼς καὶ πρὸς ὕψος αὑτὸν ἐξάρας ἢ στείλας καὶ συναγαγὼν ἔμπαλιν κατὰ κενοῦ φέρειν τὰς χεῖρας τὸν ἀντίπαλον ἠνάγκασε σκιαμαχίᾳ τι παραπλήσιον δρῶντα· ὁ δὲ οἰκέτης ἢ ὁ χαλκὸς μηδὲν ἀντιδρῶν ὑπέρριπται πάντα πεισόμενος, ὅσα ἂν ὁ διατιθεὶς ἐργάσασθαι διανοῆται.
