ἴσχεται μὲν κατὰ τοὺς ὕπνους ἠρεμοῦντα, κινεῖται δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἐγρηγόρσεσιν ἤδη ἐνεργοῦντα, τὸ μὲν καθ’ ἕξιν καὶ ἠρεμίαν ἅτε πρὸς τὸ παθεῖν ὑποβεβλημένον καλεῖται θῆλυ, τὸ δὲ p. 224 M. κατὰ κίνησίν τε καὶ ἐνέργειαν ἅτε ¹ ἐν τῷ δρᾶν ἐπινοούμενον ἄρρεν ὀνομάζεται.

On the Principle that the Worse is accustomed to be always plotting against the Better First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 172 focus

[172] And every one of the seven outward senses is in one respect male, and in another, female. For when they are stationary, or when it is in motion, they are stationary while quiescent in sleep, and they are in motion while they are energising in their waking state; and the one in accordance with habit and tranquillity, as being subject to passion, is called the female; and the one which exists according to motion and energy, as one that is only conceived in action, is called the male.
