[32] Διότι μᾶλλον ἱδροῦσι τὰ ὄπισθεν τῶν ἔμπροσθεν, καίτοι θερμότης καὶ ὑγρότης πλείων ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν
ὅτι διά τε τὴν πάλην καὶ τὴν τρίψιν ἧττον κωλύεται καὶ διάτασις ἐκ τῶν ἄνω μᾶλλον· ὅτι ὅπου πόνος ἐνταῦθα καὶ ἱδρώς. Ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἡ διάτασις τοῦ πνεύματος ἐξωθεῖ μᾶλλον, ὥσθʼ ὅταν ἀνεθῇ πλεῖον καὶ ἀθροωτέρως ἐκεῖθεν.
