[210] θαυμασιωτάτη καὶ
περιμάχητος· ἐάν ποτε, φησίν, ὁρᾷς ἀνηρεθισμένον καὶ ἐξηγριωμένον τὸ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς πάθος ἐν σαυτῷ ἤ τινι ἑτέρῳ, ὃ ἡ ἄλογος καὶ ἀτίθασος ζῳοτροφεῖ φύσις, μὴ μᾶλλον αὐτὸ ἀκονήσας ἐκθηριώσῃς — δήξεται γὰρ ἴσως ἀνίατα —, καταψύχων δὲ τὸ ζέον αὐτοῦ καὶ πεπυρωμένον ἄγαν ἡμέρωσον· τιθασὸν γὰρ καὶ χειρόηθες εἰ γένοιτο, ἥκιστα
ἂν βλάψαι. τίς οὖν ὁ τρόπος τῆς τιθασείας καὶ ἡμερώσεως αὐτοῦ;
