4, 5. ὅτι Ζηνόδοτος τοὺς δύο ἀθετεῖ. γίνεται δὲ τὸ προοίμιον κόλον. καὶ πρὸς τὰς ψυχὰς ἀντιδιέσταλκε τὸ αὐτοὺς δέ ἐπὶ τῶν σωμάτων. ἥρωας δέ φασι κληθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρετῆς, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀέρος, ὥς φησιν Ἡσίοδος “ἠέρα ἑσσάμενοι” (O. 124). ἢ· ἀπὸ τῆς ἐράσεως, τουτέστι τῆς μίξεως τῶν θεῶν· οἱ γὰρ θεοὶ θνηταῖς γυναιξὶ συνερχόμενοι ἐποίουν γένος τὸ τῶν ἡρώων. ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς ἔρας. ἔρα δὲ γῆ κατὰ διάλεκτον, ἐκ δὲ τῆς γῆς ἐπλάσθη τὸ γένος τῶν ἀνθρώ- πων.
