[14] τὴν δὲ πολλὴν ἀσθενεῖν ἐν τέκνοις εἶπεν ἀψευδῶς καὶ σφόδρα ἐναργῶς· ὅταν γὰρ μία οὖσα ψυχὴ πολλὰ ὠδίνῃ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀποστᾶσα,
μυρία κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς γίνεται, κἄπειτα πλήθει τέκνων ἐξηρτημένων βαρυνομένη καὶ πιεζομένη—ἔστι δὲ ἠλιτόμηνα καὶ ἀμβλωθρίδια τὰ πλεῖστα αὐτῶν — ἐξασθενεῖ.

[14] And she says, that "she that had many children has become weak," speaking accurately and very plainly. For when the soul, although only one, brings forth many children when separated from the one, it then naturally becomes infinite in number; and then being weighed down and overwhelmed by the multitude of children who depend upon it, (and the greatest part of them are premature and abortive), it becomes weak.
