Galenus in Hippocr. de humoribus lib. II Vol. XVI p. 303 K. (postquam trichotomiam animae Platonicam probare studuit). ἀλλ’ ὅμως ἔνιοί φασι μίαν εἶναι τῆς ψυχῆς οὐσίαν· τὴν δ’ ἀρετὴν εἶναι βούλονται τελειότητα τῆς ἑκάστου φύσεως. εἰ μὲν οὖν τι τοιοῦτον πρᾶγμά ἐστιν ἡ ἀρετή, μία ἔσται, εἴπερ καὶ τελειότης ἐστὶ μία· καὶ οὕτω κατὰ τὸ λογιστικὸν μέρος τῆς ψυχῆς ἀναγκαῖον ἐπιστήμην εἶναι τὴν ἀρετήν· καὶ εἴπερ ἓν μόνον ἐστὶ τοῦτο ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν, τὸ λογιζόμενον, οὐ χρὴ ζητεῖν ἀρετὰς πολλάς.
