  • Πάρθοι γὰρ οὐ κέρασιν οὐδὲ σάλπιγξιν ἐποτρύνουσιν ἑαυτοὺσ εἰσ μάχην, ἀλλὰ ῥόπτρα βυρσοπαγῆ καὶ κοῖλα περιτείναντεσ ἠχείοισ χαλκοῖσ ἅμα πολλαχόθεν ἐπιδουποῦσι, τὰ δὲ φθέγγεται βύθιόν τι καὶ δεινόν, ὠρυγῇ θηριώδει καὶ τραχύτητι βροντῆσ μεμιγμένον, εὖ πωσ συνεωρακότεσ ὅτι τῶν αἰσθητηρίων ἀκοὴ ταρακτικώτατόν ἐστὶ τῆσ ψυχῆσ καὶ τὰ περὶ ταύτην πάθη τάχιστα κινεῖ καὶ μάλιστα ἐξίστησι τὴν διάνοιαν.
