τούτων γὰρ τῶν ἀριθμῶν οἱ Πυθαγορικοὶ
τὰ μὲν ε᾽ τροφόν, ὅπερ ἐστὶ φθόγγον, ἐκάλουν:
οἰόμενοι τῶν τοῦ τόνου διαστημάτων πρῶτον εἶναι
φθεγκτὸν τὸ πέμπτον: τὰ δὲ τρισκαίδεκα λεῖμμα, καθάπερ Πλάτων, τὴν εἰς ἴσα τοῦ, τόνου διανομὴν ἀπογιγνώσκοντες: τὰ δὲ πέντε καὶ τριάκοντα ἁρμονίαν, ὅτι συνέστηκεν ἐκ δυεῖν κύβων πρώτων
ἀπ᾽ ἀρτίου καὶ περιττοῦ γεγονότων, ἐκ τεσσάρων
δ᾽ ἀριθμῶν, τοῦ σ᾽ καὶ τοῦ η᾽ καὶ τοῦ θ᾽ καὶ ιβ᾽,
τὴν ἀριθμητικὴν καὶ τὴν ἁρμονικὴν ἀναλογίαν
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1895. 6.
