[18]
ἐπειδὰν δὲ εὕρῃ ἀνεστραμμένην τὴν ποδοστράβην, μεταθεῖν ἐπιλύσαντα τὰς κύνας καὶ ἐπικελεύσαντα κατὰ τὸν ὁλκὸν τοῦ ξύλου, σκοπούμενον ὅποι ἂν φέρηται. ἔσται δὲ οὐκ ἄδηλον ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ: οἵ τε γὰρ λίθοι ἔσονται κεκινημένοι τά τ᾽ ἐπισύρματα τοῦ ξύλου καταφανῆ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις: ἐὰν δὲ τραχεῖς τόπους διαπερᾷ, αἱ πέτραι ἕξουσι τὸν φλοιὸν τοῦ ξύλου ἀφηρπασμένον καὶ κατὰ τοῦτο ῥᾴους αἱ μεταδρομαὶ ἔσονται.
