[5]
ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ ψηχόμενον καὶ μυωπιζόμενον χρῆσθαι ταῖς ὁπλαῖς καθάπερ ὅταν βαδίζῃ. καὶ τὰς χελιδόνας δὲ τῶν ποδῶν οἱ οὕτω κεχυμένοι λίθοι στερεοῦσιν. ὡς δὲ περὶ τῶν ὁπλῶν ὅπως στερεαὶ ἔσονται ἐπιμελητέον, οὕτω καὶ τὰ περὶ τὸ στόμα αὖ ὅπως μαλακὰ ἔσται ἐπιμελεῖσθαι δεῖ. τὰ δ᾽ αὐτὰ ἀνθρώπου τε σάρκα καὶ ἵππου στόμα ἁπαλύνει.
