Quotation
θάτερον τῶν ἐναντίων τίθεται Ἵππων καὶ Ἡράκλειτος, ὁ μὲν τὸ θερμόν· πῦρ γὰρ τὴν ἀρχὴν εἶναι· ὁ δὲ τὸ ψυχρόν, ὕδωρ τιθέμενος τὴν ἀρχήν. ἑκάτερος οὖν τούτων, φησί, καὶ ἐτυμολογεῖν ἐπιχειρεῖ τὸ τῆς ψυχῆς ὄνομα πρὸς τὴν οἰκείαν δόξαν, ὁ μὲν λέγων διὰ τοῦτο ζῆν λέγεσθαι τὰ ἔμψυχα παρὰ τὸ ζεῖν, τοῦτο δὲ τοῦ θερμοῦ, ὁ δὲ ψυχὴν κεκλῆσθαι ἐκ τοῦ ψυχροῦ, ὅθεν ἔχει τὸ εἶναι, παρὰ τὸ αἰτίαν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι τῆς διὰ τῆς ἀναπνοῆς ψύξεως
