[61] 16 τὸ γὰρ τῆς ἀκράτορος ψυχῆς νᾶμα ἔξω ῥέον διὰ στόματός τε καὶ γλώττης πάσαις ἀκοαῖς ἐπαντλεῖται, ὧν αἱ μὲν εὐρυχώρους δεξαμενὰς ἔχουσαι τὸ ἐπεισχεόμενον φυλάττουσιν, αἱ δὲ διὰ στενότητα πόρων ἀδυνατοῦσιν ἄρδεσθαι· τὸ δ’ ὑπερβλύζον
ἀκατασχέτως ἐκχεόμενον σκίδναται πάντῃ, ὡς ὑπαναπλεῖν καὶ ἐπινήχεσθαι τὰ κεκρυμμένα καὶ φορυτοῦ τρόπον εἰκαίου τὰ πάσης ἄξια σπουδῆς μετὰ συρμοῦ καταφέρεσθαι.

On the Sacrifice of Abel and Cain First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 61 focus

For the stream of the intemperate soul, flowing outwards through the mouth and tongue, is pumped up and poured ¹ into all ears. Some of which having wide channels, keep that which is poured into them with all cheerfulness; but others, through the narrowness of the passages, are unable to be bedewed by it. But that which overflows being poured forth in an unrestrained manner, is scattered in every direction: so that what has been concealed escapes and floats on the top of it, and, like a random torrent of mud, bears along with it in its flood, things worthy of being tended with all care.
