[67] οἱ τὴν ἀσύμφωνον οὖν ἁρμοζόμενοι συμφωνίαν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν κινεῖσθαι λέγονται. πότερον ἄρα γε τῶν κατ’ ἀρετὴν ἢ τῶν κατὰ κακίαν; ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν τῶν κατ’ ἀρετήν, παντελὴς ὑπογράφεται διάζευξις·
εἰ δὲ τῶν κατὰ κακίαν, ἡνωμένη τις κίνησις, καθάπερ ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἔχει, οὐκ ἰδίᾳ κατὰ ἀπάρτησιν, ἀλλ’ ἐν ἁρμονίᾳ τινὶ τῷ ὅλῳ σώματι συγκινουμένων.

[67] They, then, who are tuned in an inharmonious symphony are said to be moved from the east. Is this, then, the east according to wickedness? But the dawning in accordance with virtue is described as a complete separation, and the motion from the dawning according to vice is a united one, as when the hands are moved, not separately and disjunctively, but in a certain harmony and connection with the whole body.
