πάντες δὴ πάντα πράττουσι τὰ μὲν οὐ διʼ αὑτοὺς τὰ δὲ διʼ αὑτούς. τῶν μὲν οὖν μὴ διʼ αὑτοὺς τὰ μὲν διὰ τύχην πράττουσι τὰ δʼ ἐξ ἀνάγκης, τῶν δʼ ἐξ ἀνάγκης τὰ μὲν βίᾳ τὰ δὲ φύσει, ὥστε πάντα ὅσα μὴ διʼ αὑτοὺς πράττουσι, τὰ μὲν ἀπὸ τύχης τὰ δὲ φύσει τὰ δὲ βίᾳ. ὅσα δὲ διʼ αὑτούς, καὶ ὧν αὐτοὶ αἴτιοι, τὰ μὲν διʼ ἔθος τὰ δὲ διʼ ὄρεξιν, τὰ μὲν διὰ λογιστικὴν ὄρεξιν τὰ δὲ διʼ ἄλογον·
