ἔτι εἰ ὥσπερ κατὰ νοῦν πράττειν λέγομέν τινα οὐχ ὅτι νοῦν ἔχων πράττει ὅπως δή, ἀλλ᾿ ὅτι ὡς ὁ νοῦς βούλεται, καὶ κατὰ ψυχὴν οὐχ ὅτι ψυχὴν ἔχων, ἀλλ᾿ ὅτι ὡς ἡ ψυχὴ βούλεται, οὕτως καὶ ὁ κατὰ ἀρετὴν πράττων πράττοι ἂν κατὰ ἀρετὴν οὐχ ὅτι ἔχει ἀρετήν, ἀλλ᾿ ὅτι ὡς ἡ ἀρετὴ βούλεται, καὶ ἐν οἷς καὶ δι᾿ ὧν.
