‘ συρροὴν ταῖς τῶν ἀστέρων αὐγαῖς ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ
σύγκρασιν , ᾗ συνεκπέττει τε τὰς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς
ἀναθυμιάσεις , ἅμα τε καὶ τοῦ ἡλίου τὸ ἔμπυρον ἄγαν καὶ σκληρὸν ἀνίησι. καὶ πού τι καὶ παλαιᾷ φήμῃ διδόντες Ἄρτεμιν αὐτὴν νομισθῆναι φήσομεν
ὡς παρθένον καὶ ἄγονον, ἄλλως δὲ βοηθητικὴν καὶ
ὠφέλιμον. ἔπειτα τῶν γ᾽ εἰρημένων οὐδέν, ὦ φίλε
Θέων, ἀδύνατον δείκνυσι τὴν λεγομένην ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς
οἴκησιν: ἥ τε γὰρ δίνη πολλὴν ἔχουσα πραότητα καὶ γαλήνην ἐπιλεαίνει τὸν ἀέρα καὶ διανέμει συγκατακοσμούμενον,
’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
