Diog. Laërt. VII 107. ἔτι δὲ καθῆκόν φασιν εἶναι ὃ πραχθὲν εὔλογον [τε] ἴσχει ἀπολογισμόν, οἷον τὸ ἀκόλουθον ἐν [τῇ] ζωῇ, ὅπερ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ φυτὰ καὶ ζῷα διατείνει· ὁρᾶσθαι γὰρ κἀπὶ τούτων καθήκοντα. κατωνομάσθαι δὲ οὕτως ὑπὸ πρώτου Ζήνωνος τὸ καθῆκον, ἀπὸ τοῦ κατά τινας ἥκειν τῆς προσονομασίας εἰλημμένης. ἐνέργημα δὲ αὐτὸ εἶναι ταῖς κατὰ φύσιν κατασκευαῖς οἰκεῖον.
