[99] ἀλλ’ αὗται μὲν ἀσταί τε καὶ ἀστεῖαι γυναῖκες [αἰσθήσεις] ὡς ἀληθῶς, παρ’ αἷς ἡ ἀρετὴ Λεία τετιμῆσθαι βούλεται, αἱ δὲ προσαναφλέγουσαι τὸ πῦρ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄθλιον
νοῦν ἀπόλιδες· λέγεται γὰρ ὅτι καὶ „γυναῖκες ἔτι προσεξέκαυσαν πῦρ ἐπὶ Μωάβ“ (Num. 21,30).

But they who kindle an additional fire against the miserable mind are destitute of any city. For we read in the scripture that even, "women still burnt additional fire to Moab." ¹
