Stobaeus ecl. II 102, 11 W. Ἀστείοις δ’ ἔτι καὶ τὴν ἀρχικὴν κατανέμουσιν ἐπιστασίαν καὶ τὰ ταύτης εἴδη, βασιλείαν, στρατηγίαν, ναυαρχίαν καὶ τὰς ταύταις παραπλησίους. Κατὰ τοῦτο δὴ καὶ μόνος ὁ σπουδαῖος ἄρχει καὶ εἰ μὴ πάντως κατ’ ἐνέργειαν, κατὰ διάθεσιν δὲ καὶ πάντως. Καὶ πειθαρχικὸς μόνος ὁ σπουδαῖός ἐστιν, ἀκολουθητικὸς ὢν ἄρχοντι. Τῶν δ’ ἀφρόνων οὐδεὶς τοιοῦτος· οὔτε γὰρ ἄρχειν οὔτ’ ἄρχεσθαι οἷός ⟨τ’⟩ ἐστιν ὁ ἄφρων, αὐθάδης τις ὢν καὶ ἀνάγωγος.
