Λοιπὸν δ᾽ εἰπεῖν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν ἄλλοις γενέσεων οἷον τῶν κατὰ τὰς ἐμφυτείας καὶ τοὺς ἐνοφθαλμισμούς. ἁπλοῦς δέ τις λόγος καὶ σχεδὸν εἰρημένος πρότερον. ὥσπερ γὰρ γῇ χρῆται θατέρῳ τὰ ἐμφυτευόμενα. καὶ φυτεία δέ τις ὁ ἐνοφθαλμισμὸς οὐ μόνον παράταξις· ἀλλ᾽ ἐνταῦθα δῆλον ὅτι καὶ τὸ βλαστάνον καὶ τὸ γεννῶν ἡ ὑγρότης ἐστὶν ἡ γόνιμος· ἥνπερ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς ἔχων ἁρμόττεται θατέρῳ καὶ τὴν τροφὴν ἔχων ἀποδίδωσι τὴν οἰκείαν βλάστησιν.
