  • δεινὸν οὖν τοῖσ ὑπομένουσι τὸ πάθοσ, οὐ καθὸ παίδων ἀπεστεροῦντο καὶ γονεῖσ ὄντεσ αὐτοὶ πρὸσ τὴν ἀπώλειαν ὑπούργουν τῶν γεννωμένων, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆσ τοῦ γένουσ αὐτῶν ἐπιλείψεωσ, φθειρομένων μὲν τῶν τικτομένων, αὐτῶν δὲ διαλυθησομένων, χαλεπὴν αὐτοῖσ καὶ δυσπαραμύθητον ἐποίει τὴν συμφοράν.
