τῶν ὄντων τὰ μέν ἐστι κακά, τὰ δὲ ἀγαθά, τὰ δὲ οὐδέτερα. τούτων κακὰ μὲν ταῦτα λέγομεν, τὰ δυνάμενα βλάπτειν ἀεί, οἷον ἀκρασίαν καὶ ἀφροσύνην καὶ ἀδικίαν καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα· τὰ δὲ τούτοῖς ἐναντία ἀγαθά ἐστιν· τὰ δὲ ἐνίοτε μὲν ὠφελεῖν, ἐνίοτε δὲ βλάπτειν, οἷον τὸ περιπατεῖν καὶ τὸ καθῆσθαι καὶ τὸ ἐσθίειν, 〈ἢ〉 ὅλως μήτε ὠφελῆσαι μήτε βλάψαι δυνάμενα, ταῦτα οὖν οὔτε ἀγαθὰ οὔτε κακά ἐστιν. τῶν ἄρα ὄντων τὰ μὲν ἀγαθά, τὰ δὲ κακά, τὰ δὲ οὐδέτερα τούτων.
