ὃ δὲ λέγουσιν, ὡς ἧττον γίνεται περὶ Εὔβοιαν καὶ τὴν Βοιωτίαν, ὅταν ἡ ὀρχομενία λίμνη πληρωθῇ, τάχ᾽ ἄν τις ἀμφοτέρως λάβοι καὶ ὡς κατὰ συμβεβηκὸς, ὅτι ἔπομβρα συμβαίνει τότε μᾶλλον εἶναι τὰ ἔτη καὶ χιόνα μὴ πίπτειν καὶ ὡς ὑδρωδεστέραν τὴν ἀναθυμίασιν γινομένην διὰ τὸ ἀπὸ πλέονος· ἡ τοιαύτη δ᾽ ἧττον ψυχρὰ καὶ κακοποιός· καὶ φανερὸν ἔν τισι τόποις γέγονεν· ἀλεεινότεροι γὰρ γεγένηνται λιμνωθέντων τῶν πλησίον·
