καὶ ἡ φρόνησις, περὶ τὰ πρακτά. ὁ γὰρ συνετός που λέγεται τῷ δυνατὸς βουλεύεσθαι 〈εἶναι〉 καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀρθῶς τι κρῖναι καὶ ἰδεῖν· περὶ μικρῶν δὲ καὶ ἐν μικροῖς ἡ κρίσις αὐτοῦ. ἔστιν οὖν ἡ σύνεσις καὶ ὁ συνετὸς μέρος τι φρονήσεως καὶ τοῦ φρονίμου, καὶ οὐκ ἄνευ τούτων· οὐ γὰρ ἂν χωρίσαις τὸν συνετὸν τοῦ φρονίμου. γὰρ δεινότης καὶ ὁ δεινὸς οὐκ ἔστι μὲν οὔτε φρόνησις οὔτε φρόνιμος, ὁ μέντοι φρόνιμος δεινός, διὸ καὶ συνεργεῖ πως τῇ φρονήσει ἡ δεινότης·
