(1) Ar. fr. 591.67–70:
                                                ‘ὤμοι
τῆς ἀλέας, ἣν ἄνθρωπός μ’ ἀποδύσας
φεύγε[ι] συγκύψας’· τῆς ἐκ τῶν πλη-

(2) X. An. 5.8.15–6: τὸ γὰρ κινεῖσθαι καὶ ἀνδρίζεσθαι παρεῖχε θερμασίαν τινὰ καὶ ὑγρότητα, τὸ δὲ καθῆσθαι καὶ ἡσυχίαν ἔχειν ἑώρων ὑπουργὸν ὂν τῷ τε ἀποπήγνυσθαι τὸ αἷμα καὶ τῷ ἀποσήπεσθαι τοὺς τῶν ποδῶν δακτύλους, ἅπερ πολλοὺς καὶ ὑμεῖς ἴστε παθόντας.

For getting into motion and acting like a man produced a certain amount of warmth and suppleness, while sitting and keeping quiet tended, as I saw, to make the blood freeze and the toes rot off, just the misfortunes which many people suffered, as you know for yourselves. (Transl. Brownson, Dillery 1998, 461).
