τῶν γε μὴν φιλοσόφων αἰσθήσεων, δι’ ὧν περιγίνεται τὸ εὖ ζῆν, ὅρασις μὲν φῶς τὸ κάλλιστον ἐν τοῖς οὖσιν ὁρᾷ, ὁρᾷ δὲ διὰ φωτὸς τἄλλα πάντα, ἥλιον, σελήνην, ἀστέρας, οὐρανόν, γῆν, θάλατταν, φυτῶν καὶ ζῴων ἀμυθήτους διαφοράς, καὶ συνόλως πάντα σώματα καὶ σχήματα καὶ χρώματα καὶ μεγέθη, ὧν ἡ θέα περιττὴν φρόνησιν ἐξειργάσατο καὶ πολὺν ἵμερον ἐπιστήμης ἐγέννησε.
