λουσαμένῳ δὲ ἔνεστί σοι μὴ τὴν διὰ τῶν αὐτῶν οἴκων αὖθις ἐπανιέναι, ἀλλὰ ταχεῖαν τὴν ἐπὶ τὸ ψυχρὸν δι᾽ ἠρέμα θερμοῦ οἰκήματος, καὶ ταῦτα πάντα ὑπὸ φωτὶ μεγάλῳ καὶ πολλῇ τῇ ἔνδον ἡμέρᾳ. ὕψη πρὸς τούτοις
[p. 42] ἀνάλογα καὶ πλάτη τοῖς μήκεσι σύμμετρα καὶ πανταχοῦ πολλὴ χάρις καὶ Ἀφροδίτη ἐπανθεῖ: κατὰ γὰρ τὸν καλὸν Πίνδαρον, ἀρχομένου ἔργου
πρόσωπον χρὴ θέμεν τηλαυγές. τοῦτο δ᾽ ἂν εἴη ἐκ τῆς αὐγῆς μάλιστα καὶ τοῦ φέγγους καὶ τῶν φωταγωγῶν μεμηχανημένον. ὁ γὰρ σοφὸς
ὡς ἀληθῶς Ἱππίας τὸν μὲν ψυχροδόχον οἶκον εἰς βορρᾶν
προσκεχωρηκότα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἄμοιρον οὐδὲ
τοῦ μεσημβρινοῦ ἀέρος: τοὺς δὲ πολλοῦ τοῦ θάλπους δεομένους νότῳ καὶ εὔρῳ καὶ ζεφύρῳ ὑπέθηκε.
