99. ὕδωρ καὶ γαῖα γένοισθε] ἀναλυθείητε εἰς ὕδωρ καὶ γῆν, δια- λυθείητε καὶ ἀποθάνοιτε. βέλτιον δὲ ἀκούειν, ἐξ ὧν ἐγένεσθε, εἰς ταῦτα πάλιν ἀναστοιχειωθείητε. τῶν στοιχείων ὕδωρ καὶ γῆ κατὰ φύσιν ἀκίνητα, τὰ δὲ ἄλλα κινητὰ διʼ ἑαυτῶν· ταῦτα οὖν φησὶ τὴν ἀκινησίαν ὀνειδίζων. καὶ Ξενοφάνης “πάντες γὰρ γαίης τε καὶ ὕδατος ἐκγενόμεσθα· ἐκ γῆς γὰρ πάντα καὶ εἰς γῆν τελευτᾷ.” ἢ ὅτι τὸ ὕδωρ τὰς ψυχὰς διαφθείρει.
