Stobaeus ecl. II p. 69, 17 W. τὸ δ’ ἀγαθὸν λέγεσθαί φασι πλεοναχῶς, τὸ μὲν πρῶτον οἷον πηγῆς ἔχον χώραν, ὅπερ οὕτως ἀποδίδοσθαι· ἀφ’ οὗ συμβαίνει ὠφελεῖσθαι (τὸ δὲ πρώτως εἶναι αἴτιον) ἢ ὑφ’ οὗ· τὸ ⟨δὲ⟩ δεύτερον, καθ’ ὃ συμβαίνει ὠφελεῖσθαι· κοινότερον δὲ καὶ διατεῖνον καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ προειρημένα, τὸ οἷον ὠφελεῖν. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τὸ κακὸν κατὰ τὴν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἀναλογίαν ὑπογράφεσθαι. Τὸ μὲν οὖν ἀφ’ οὗ συμβαίνει βλάπτεσθαι ἢ ὑφ’ οὗ· τὸ δὲ καθ’ ὃ συμβαίνει βλάπτεσθαι· κοινότερον δὲ τούτων τὸ οἷον βλάπτειν.
