[p. 276 Fr.] Σφυρὰ διηκριβωμένα στερεὰ γενναῖον ἄνδρα δηλοῦσι, τὰ μαλακὰ δὲ καὶ λεῖα [p. 277] σφυρὰ ἄνανδρον σημαίνουσι, λεπτὰ δὲ [καὶ] πάνυ σφυρὰ δολίου καὶ ἀκολάστου ἀνδρὸς τὸ σημεῖον. παχέα δὲ σφυρὰ καὶ κολοβοὺς δακτύλους καὶ πτέρνας τραχείας καὶ πόδας σαρκώδεις καὶ κνήμας παχείας ὅσοι φοροῦσι, μωραίνουσιν, ἐξηχοῦσιν ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πλεῖστον ἢ δαιμονίζονται.
