[71] καὶ πρὸς σκιρτήσεις μὲν καὶ τοὺς συνεχεῖς ἀφηνιασμούς εἰσι μάστιγες καὶ μύωπες εὐτρεπεῖς καὶ τἄλλ’ ὅσα πωλοδάμναις ἵππων κατεσκεύασται κολαστήρια. καὶ θαυμαστὸν
οὐδέν· ἀνιόντος γὰρ τοῦ ἱππέως καὶ ἱππικὴ τέχνη συνανέρχεται, ὥστε δύο ὄντες καὶ ἐποχούμενοι καὶ ἐπιστήμονες εἰκότως ἑνὸς καὶ ὑποβεβλημένου καὶ ἀπαραδέκτου τέχνης ζῴου περιέσονται.
