‘ παρομαρτεῖν ἀτρέμα, καὶ δρόσους καὶ ὑγρότητας
ἐλαφρὰς περιχεούσας, καὶ διασπειρομένας ἐπαρκεῖν τοῖς βλαστάνουσιν, αὐτὴν δὲ τῇ κράσει μὴ πυρώδη μηδ᾽ αὐχμηρὰν ἀλλὰ μαλακὴν καὶ ὑδροποιὸν εἶναι;
ξηρότητος μὲν γὰρ οὐδὲν ἀφικνεῖται πάθος ἀπ᾽
αὐτῆς πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὑγρότητος δὲ πολλὰ καὶ θηλύτητος,
αὐξήσεις φυτῶν, σήψεις κρεῶν, τροπαὶ καὶ
ἀνέσεις οἴνων, μαλακότητες ξύλων, εὐτοκίαι γυναικῶν.
’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
