[[ἐν δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ κατὰ σύγκρισιν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τὸ κακὸν τέτακται· τὸ γὰρ μὴ λίαν κακὸν ἐνθάδε τὸ ἀγαθόν]] [ἐστι.] [[τὸ δὲ ἐνθάδε ἀγαθὸν μόριον τοῦ κακοῦ τὸ ἐλάχιστον.]] ἀδύνατον οὖν [τὸ ἀγαθὸν] ⟨τὰ⟩ ἐνθάδε καθαρεύειν τῆς κακίας· ⟨⟨τὸ δὲ ἐνθάδε ἀγαθόν, ⟨ᾧ⟩ μόριον τοῦ κακοῦ [τὸ] ἐλάχιστον·⟩⟩ κακοῦται γὰρ ἐνθάδε τὸ ἀγαθόν. [κακούμενον γὰρ οὐκέτι ἀγαθὸν μένει· μὴ μεῖναν δέ, κακὸν γίνεται.]
