i. τραχεῖα δὲ εἰκότως ἂν λέγοιτο, λοφώδης οὖσα καὶ ἐπιθαλασσίδιος. | αὐτὸς γάρ φησιν (fr. 200)· οἵ τ᾿ ἀργίλοφον πὰρ Ζεφυρίου κολώναν. καὶ ὃ βούλεται λέγειν, ἔστι τοιοῦτον· καίπερ τραχεῖα οὖσα εὐνομεῖται. διὰ τί δέ, φησὶν Ἀριστοτέλης (fr. 548)· ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐχρῶντο τῷ θεῷ πῶς ἂν πολλῆς ταραχῆς ἀπαλλαγεῖεν, ἐξέπεσεν αὐτοῖς χρησμὸς ἑαυτοῖς νόμους τίθεσθαι. ὅτε καί τις ποιμὴν, ᾧ ὄνομα Ζάλευκος, πολλοὺς νόμους δυνηθεὶς εἰσενεγκεῖν τοῖς πολίταις δοκίμους, γνωσθείς τε καὶ ἐρωτηθεὶς πόθεν εὕροι, ἔφησεν ἐνύπνιον αὐτῷ τὴν Ἀθηνᾶν παρίστασθαι· διὸ αὐτός τε ἠλευθέρωται καὶ νομοθέτης κατέστη.
