[29]
εἰ δ᾽ ἔφευγεν ὀρθόν, ὀλιγάκις ἂν ἔπασχε τὸ τοιοῦτον: νῦν δὲ περιβάλλων καὶ ἀγαπῶν τοὺς τόπους ἐν οἷς ἐγένετο καὶ ἐτράφη ἁλίσκεται. κατὰ πόδας δὲ οὐ πολλάκις ὑπὸ τῶν κυνῶν διὰ τὸ τάχος κρατεῖται: ὅσοι δὲ ἁλίσκονται, παρὰ φύσιν τοῦ σώματος, τύχῃ δὲ χρώμενοι: οὐδὲν γὰρ τῶν ὄντων ἰσομέγεθες τούτῳ ὅμοιόν ἐστι πρὸς ἁρμόν. σύγκειται γὰρ ἐκ τοιούτων τὸ σῶμα.
