ὅλως δὲ ἕκαστοι τῶν τόπων ἰδίας ἔχουσι κῆρας, οἱ μὲν ἐκ τοῦ ἐδάφους, οἱ δ᾽ ἐκ τοῦ ἀέρος, οἱ δ᾽ ἐξ ἀμφοῖν. ἐκείνη δὲ αἰτία κοινὴ πᾶσιν ἡ ἀπὸ τῶν πνευμάτων κατὰ τὰς χώρας ἑκάστας, ὅσα θερμὰ τοῦ θέρους πνεῖ καὶ τοῦ ἦρος ψυχρὰ σφόδρα τῶν δένδρων ἄρτι βλαστανόντων καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν ἄνθησιν· τὸ γὰρ ὅλον ἀληθὲς καὶ ἐπὶ τούτων, ὅτι δι᾽ ὑπερβολὴν καὶ ἔνδειαν τροφῆς καὶ καύματος καὶ ψύχους νοσοῦσιν·
