εἴπερ ἐστὶ τὸ ἀδικεῖν τὸ βλάπτειν ἑκόντα καὶ εἰδότα καὶ ὃν καὶ ὡς καὶ οὗ ἕνεκα, ἔστι δʼ ἡ βλάβη καὶ ἡ ἀδικία ἐν ἀγαθοῖς, καὶ περὶ ἀγαθά, ὁ ἀδικῶν ἄρα καὶ ὁ ἄδικος εἰδείη ἂν ὁποῖα ἀγαθὰ καὶ ὁποῖα κακά· τὸ δέ γε ὑπὲρ τῶν τοιούτων εἰδέναι ἐστὶν ἴδιον τοῦ φρονίμου καὶ τῆς φρονήσεως· ἄτοπον δὴ συμβαίνει τὸ τῷ ἀδίκῳ συμπαρακολουθεῖν τὸ μέγιστον ἀγαθὸν τὴν φρόνησιν.
