[256. 257] εἶτα διαρρήδην ἐπιφέρει· ὁ λόγος ἀνθρώπους κυβερνᾶι κατὰ τρόπον σωίζει τ’ ἀεὶ. ἐστιν ἀνθρώπωι λογισμός, ἔστι καὶ θεῖος λόγος· ὁ δέ γε τἀνθρώπου πέφυκεν ἀπό γε τοῦ θείου λόγου, 〈καὶ〉 φέρει 〈πόρους ἑκάστωι〉 περὶ βίου καὶ τᾶς τρσφᾶς. ὁ δέ γε ταῖς τέχναις ἁπάσαις συνέπεται θεῖος λόγος, ἑκδιδάσκων αὐτὸς αὐτούς, ὅ τι ποιεῖν δεῖ συμφέρον. οὐ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος τέχναν τιν’ εὔρεν, ὁ δὲ θεὸς τοπάν.
