XLVII.
What sort should the hair be? Not too long, it should not cover the forehead, nor fly about the shoulders, so that it might deservedly be called a long-haired head referring to a style associated with effeminacy or excessive care.

XLVIII.
For whom is it fitting to shake the hair by tossing the head? For frolicking horses, and for the Furies shaking their snakes.

XLIX.
For whom does it seem elegant to toss the hair back from the forehead onto the crown of the head with the hand? For shepherds who raise long hair. Also for the soft, and for the unrefined pigs from the herd of Epicurus.

L.
What sort should the neck be? Not bent, not leaning to the left nor to the right, but (as with the body) it should be softly held erect.

LI.
Who are accustomed to bend the neck and hunch the shoulders? No industrious youths, but stale laggards, torpid with long sloth, and horrid with idleness, dragging their broad bellies without glory.

LII.
With what balance should the shoulders be tempered? An equal one, not lifted on one side like the yards of a ship, while the other is depressed.
