τούτων δὲ οὕτως ἐχόντων, ἐὰν μὲν μηδεὶς τῶν ἀγαθοποιῶν συσχηματίζηται τοῖς τὰ αἴτια ποιοῦσι κακοποιοῖς ἢ τοῖς κεκεντρωμένοις φωσίν, ἀνίατα καὶ ἐπαχθῆ τά τε σίνη καὶ τὰ πάθη γενήσεται, ὡσαύτως δέ, κἂν συσχηματίζωνται μέν, καθυπερτερῶνται δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν κακοποιῶν ἐν δυνάμει ὄντων· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ κατὰ κυρίων ὄντες σχημάτων καθυπερτερῶσι τοὺς τὸ αἴτιον ἐμποιοῦντας κακοποιούς, τότε τὰ σίνη εὐσχήμονα καὶ οὐκ ἐπονείδιστα γίνεται καὶ τὰ πάθη μέτρια καὶ εὐπαρηγόρητα, ἔσθ᾿ ὅτε δὲ καὶ εὐαπάλλακτα ἀνατολικῶν ὄντων τῶν ἀγαθοποιῶν.
