εἰ δὲ πολλὰ τῶν εἰρημένων καθόλου χρήσιμά ἐστι πρὸς πολιτείαν καὶ τὴν τοῦ προσήκοντος αἵρεσιν, ταύτῃ καὶ δικαιότερον συγγνώμην ἔχειν τοῦ μήκους τῶν λόγων, ὅτι οὐ μάτην ἄλλως οὐδὲ περὶ ἄχρηστα πλανωμένῳ πλείονες γεγόνασιν. ἡ γὰρ περὶ ἐργασιῶν καὶ τεχνῶν σκέψις καὶ καθόλου περὶ βίου προσήκοντος ἢ μὴ τοῖς μετρίοις καὶ καθʼ αὑτὴν ἀξία πέφηνεν πολλῆς καὶ πάνυ ἀκριβοῦς θεωρίας.
