Ἠθική ἐστι δύναμις ψυχῆς, δι’ ἧς ἀσκηθείσης καλῶς ἡ πρακτικὴ κατασκευάζεται ἀρετή, ἢ λόγος καθ’ ὃν χρησόμεθα ἠθικῇ ἀρετῇ. Ἦθος δέ ἐστι ποιότης τοῦ ἀλόγου μέρους τῆς ψυχῆς ὑποτακτικῶς ἔχειν ἐθιζομένου τῷ λόγῳ. Ἄλλως· ἄλογον μέρος τῆς ψυχῆς εἰθισμένον ὑπακούειν τῷ λόγῳ· ἢ πάθος, ἢ παθητικὸν μέρος τῆς ψυχῆς, εἰθισμένον ὑπακούειν τῷ λογικῷ.
