  • καὶ τὸ μὲν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ κάλλοσ ἐπὶ τριστιχίαν ἦν ἐνυφασμένον, τετάρτη δὲ μοῖρα γλυφέων παρεῖχε θαυμάζειν ἐπιστήμην, ὑφ’ ὧν πεποίητο δένδρα καὶ φυτὰ παντοῖα σύσκια τοῖσ κλάδοισ καὶ τοῖσ ἐκκρεμαμένοισ αὐτῶν πετάλοισ, ὡσ ὑπονοεῖν αὐτὰ καὶ σαλεύεσθαι δι’ ὑπερβολὴν λεπτότητοσ καλύπτοντα τὸν ὑπ’ αὐτοῖσ λίθον.
