Sextus adv. math. XI 46. οἱ δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Στοᾶς τρία μὲν γένη τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ τυγχάνειν ἔλεξαν, οὐχ ὡσαύτως δέ· τούτων γὰρ τὰ μὲν περὶ ψυχὴν τὰ δ’ ἐκτὸς τὰ δὲ οὔτε περὶ ψυχὴν οὔτε ἐκτός, ἐξαιροῦντες τὸ γένος τῶν περὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀγαθῶν ὡς μὴ ἀγαθῶν. Καὶ δὴ περὶ μὲν ψυχὴν εἶναί φασι τὰς ἀρετὰς καὶ ⟨τὰς⟩ σπουδαίας πράξεις, ἐκτὸς δὲ εἶναι τόν τε φίλον καὶ τὸν σπουδαῖον ἄνθρωπον καὶ τὰ σπουδαῖα τέκνα καὶ γονεῖς καὶ τὰ ὅμοια, οὔτε δὲ περὶ ψυχὴν οὔτε ἐκτὸς αὐτὸν τὸν σπουδαῖον ἄνθρωπον ὡς πρὸς ἑαυτόν. οὔτε γὰρ ἐκτὸς ἑαυτοῦ δυνατὸν εἶναι αὐτὸν οὔτε περὶ ψυχήν· ἐκ γὰρ ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος συνέστηκεν.
