— ἀλλʼ ἆρά γε οὑτωσί πως ἄν τις ὀρθῶς σκοποῖτο συγκρίνων τὸ ἄριστον; οἷον αὐτὴν τὴν εὐδαιμονίαν τὴν ἐκ τούτων τῶν ἀγαθῶν οὖσαν συγκρίνων πρὸς ἄλλα ἃ μή ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῇ ἐνόντα, οὕτω τὸ ἄριστον σκοπῶν ὀρθῶς ἂν σκοποῖτο; ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπλοῦν τὸ ἄριστον ὃ ζητοῦμεν νῦν. οἷον λέγοι ἄν τις εἶναι ἄριστον τὴν φρόνησιν ἀπάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καθʼ ἓν συγκρινομένων.
