Cleanthes putat, tactus et oculorum. nam solis calor et

comburat, quorum neutrum faceret nisi esset igneus.
"ergo" inquit "cum sol igneus sit Oceanique alatur umoribus" (quia nullus ignis sine pastu aliquo possit permanere) "necesse est aut ei similis sit igni quem adhibemus ad usum atque victum, aut ei qui corporibus
animantium continetur.
