οἱ δὲ ὀνειρώττοντες ἀποκάθαρσις μὲν τῆς ἐπιπολαζούσης εὐεξίας, ὁρῶνται δὲ ὅμως ὕπωχροι καὶ δροσίζοντες καὶ ὑποδεέστεροι μὲν τὴν ἰσχύν, εὐτραφεῖς δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ καθεύδειν καὶ ἀνεύθυνοι τὸ ἰσχίον καὶ διαρκεῖς τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐν χώρᾳ τε τῶν ἀφροδισιαζόντων ὄντες οὐ ταὐτόν εἰσιν, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ μὲν καθαίροντες τὴν ἕξιν, οἱ δὲ τήκοντες. κόπων δὲ ἀγαθὴ μάρτυς ἥ τε ἔξωθεν περιβολὴ τοῦ σώματος λεπτοτέρα ἑαυτῆς δοκοῦσα καὶ ἀνοιδοῦσα φλὲψ καὶ κατηφὴς βραχίων καὶ τὰ μυώδη κατεσκληκότα.
