Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὀρρωδεῖ· φοβεῖται. κυρίως μὲν ὀρρωδεῖν ἐπὶ τοῦ τῶν ἀλόγων δέους. πεποίηται δὲ παρὰ τὸ σείοντα τὴν οὐρὰν δηλοῦν τὸ δέος· ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἐγκρύπτειν τῷ μέρει τούτῳ τὰ αἰδοῖα κατὰ τὴν τοῦ δέους διάθεσιν· ἢ ὅτι τῶν φοβουμένων εἴωθεν ὁ ὄρρος πρῶτος ἱδροῦν. ἔστι τὸ ὀρρωδεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρρου, ὅ ἐστι μεσοπύγιον τῆς περιστερᾶς. ἔστι γὰρ τρομερὸν τὸ μέρος.
