Ὃ δὲ λέγει τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν· Οὐδὲ ταῦτα ἅπερ ἔχεις, οἴκοθεν μαθὼν ἔχεις ἅπαντα, οὐδὲ ἤρκεσέ σοι ἡ φύσις πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἁπάντων εἴδησιν, ἀλλ' ἄνωθεν τῶν πλειόνων ἔλαβες τὴν γνῶσιν· πολλῷ γὰρ μείζονα ἦν ἢ ὥστε τῇ συνέσει καταληφθῆναι τῇ σῇ. Τί τοίνυν οἴκοθεν φιλονεικεῖς τὰ βαθύτερα ἐρευνᾶν, ὅταν καὶ αὐτῶν ὧν οἶδας πολλὰ ὑπερβαίνῃ σου τὴν φρόνησιν καὶ ταῦτα ἑτέρωθεν ἔχῃς;
