καὶ ὅτι τοῦτο οὐκ ἴσασι πάντες οὐδὲ ὁμολογοῦσιν, ἐπιμέμφεται ὧδέ πως· οὐ ξυνιᾶσιν ὅκως διαφερόμενον ἑωυτῶι ὁμολογέει· παλίντροπος ἁρμονίη ὅκωσπερ τόξου καὶ λύρης.

And he reproaches everyone for neither knowing nor agreeing with this, somewhat as follows: “They do not understand how, though at variance with itself, it agrees with itself: a back-turning harmony, as of bow and lyre.”

Et parce que tous ne savent ni ne reconnaissent cela, il leur adresse à peu près ce reproche : « Ils ne comprennent pas comment ce qui diffère s’accorde avec soi-même : harmonie de tensions opposées, comme celle de l’arc et de la lyre. »
