Summary: Winds, springs, and the smallest creatures live in peace.

## Greek text

ἀνέμων σταθμοὶ κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον καιρὸν τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτῶν ἀπροσκόπως ἐπιτελοῦσιν· ἀέναοί τε πηγαί, πρὸς ἀπόλαυσιν καὶ ὑγείαν δημιουργηθεῖσαι, δίχα ἐλλείψεως παρέχονται τοὺς πρὸς ζωῆς ἀνθρώποις μαζούς· τά τε ἐλάχιστα τῶν ζώων τὰς συνελεύσεις αὐτῶν ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ καὶ εἰρήνῃ ποιοῦνται.

## English translation (Claude)

The stations of the winds fulfill their service at their proper time without stumbling; the ever-flowing springs, created for enjoyment and health, offer their breasts for human life without fail; and the smallest of living creatures come together in concord and peace.
