ἡ δὲ βλῆχρος ξηρὰ φαίνεται παντελῶς, ἀλλὰ δῆλον ὡς ἔχει τινὰ τοιαύτην ἀρχὴν, ἣ κινεῖται τῇ τοῦ ἀέρος ἅμα μεταβολῇ καὶ ἀλλοιώσει. θαυμαστὸν δὲ καὶ τὸ τῆς ὥρας· οὐ γὰρ ἀνιεμένης, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ἐπιτεινούσης, εἰ μὴ ἄρα περὶ τὰς ἁλκυονίδας· ἱκανὸς γὰρ ὁποσοσοῦν χρόνος εἰς τὰς τῶν ἀσθενῶν καὶ μικρῶν μεταβολάς. αἱ μὲν οὖν γενέσεις πόσαι τε καὶ ποσαχῶς καὶ τίνες ἑκάστοις οἰκεῖαι φανερὸν ἐκ τῶν εἰρημένων.
