γῆν θάλατταν ἀέρα οὐρανὸν
σκότος φῶς κληδόνα σιωπὴν ὄνειρον. οἱ δοῦλοι τῶν δεσποτῶν ἐπιλανθάνονται
καθεύδοντες, τοῖς πεδήταις ἐπελαφρύνει τὸν
δεσμὸν ὁ ὕπνος, φλεγμοναὶ περὶ τραύματα καὶ νομαὶ σαρκὸς θηριώδεις καὶ
περιωδυνίαι κοιμωμένων ἀφίστανται
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1888. 1.
