[33] χρῄζει δὲ ὁ ἀσκητὴς Βάλλας μέν, καταπόσεως, ἀλλὰ ὡς δούλης καὶ παλλακίδος — ἄνευ γὰρ τροφῆς καὶ ζωῆς οὐδ’ ἂν τὸ εὖ ζῆν περιγένοιτο, ἐπειδὴ τὰ
μέσα τῶν ἀμεινόνων ἀεὶ θεμέλιοι —, χρῄζει δὲ καὶ Ζέλφας, διεξοδικῆς ¹ ἑρμηνείας, ἵνα τὸ λογικὸν αὐτῷ διχόθεν συνερανίζηται πρὸς τελείωσιν, ἔκ τε τῆς κατὰ διάνοιαν πηγῆς καὶ ἐκ τῆς περὶ τὸ φωνητήριον ὄργανον ἀπορροῆς.

[33] But the practiser of virtue also wants Billah, that is, swallowing, but as a slave and a concubine; for without food and vitality, living well could not possibly be the lot of the man, since things indifferent are always the foundation of what is better; and he also wants Zilpah, that is to say, interpretation by means of utterance, in order that the rational part itself may, in a twofold manner, contribute to perfection, both from the fountain existing in the intellect, and also from the stream flowing therefrom in the organ of the voice.
