ὡς ἀπλῶς μὲν εἰπεῖν, ὁ διὰ μηθὲν τῶν προςιρημένων ἀνδρεῖος ὤν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸ νομίζειν αὐτὸ εἶναι καλόν, καὶ τοῦτο ποιῶν κἂν παρ τις κἂν μὴ παρῇ. οὐδὲδὴ παντελῶς ἄνευ πάθουςκαὶ ὁρμῆς έγγίγνεται ἡ ἀνδρεία. δεῖ δὲ τὴν ὁρμὴν γίνεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ λόγου διὰ τὸ καλόν. ὁ δὴ ὁρμῶν διὰ λόγον ἕνεκεν τοῦ καλοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ κινδυνεύειν, ἄφοβος ὢν περὶ ταῦτα, οὗτος ἀνδρεῖος, καὶ ἡ ἀνδρεία περὶ ταῦτα.
