ἀλλ’ αὐτάρκη ἡγησάμην ἐκ τῶν παρακει- μένων τὴν ἀπόδειξιν ποιήσασθαι, ὅτι τὰ μὲν ἄλλα ζῷα κατὰ τὴν κοινότητα καὶ τὴν διαφορὰν κατὰ φύ- σιν δοθεῖσαν ἑκάστῳ ἐξ ἀνάγκης ἡδέως φέρεται, ἄν- θρωποι δὲ μόνοι, τὸ ἐξαίρετον ἔχοντες τόν τε νοῦν καὶ τὸν ἐκ τούτου προφερόμενον λόγον, κατὰ μὲν τὴν κοινότητα ἕπονται τῇ φύσει, ὡς προεῖπον, κατὰ δὲ τὸ ἐξαίρετον οὐ κατὰ φύσιν πολιτεύονται.
