μέρη δὲ οἰκίας ἄνθρωπός τε καὶ κτῆσίς ἐστιν. ἐπεὶ δὲ πρῶτον ἐν τοῖς ἐλαχίστοις ἡ φύσιςἑκάστου θεωρεῖται, καὶ περὶ οἰκίας ἂν ὁμοίως ἔχοι. ὥστε καθʼ Ἡσίοδον δέοι ἂν ὑπάρχειν οἶκον μὲν πρώτιστα γυναῖκά τε Hes. WD 405 τὸ μὲν γὰρ τῆς τροφῆς πρῶτον, τὸ δὲ τῶν ἐλευθέρων. ὥστε δέοι ἂν τὰ περὶ τὴν τῆς γυναικὸς ὁμιλίαν οἰκονομήσασθαι καλῶς· τοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ ποίαν τινὰ δεῖ ταύτην εἶναι παρασκευάσαι.
