Ἐπεχείρει ἐχθρὸς λόγος τὶς παρελθὼν πείθειν ἡμᾶς ὡς αἱρετέον ἡδονήν, ἐὰν προσγένηται αὐτῇ τὸ ἀσφαλές· σοφιστὴς λόγος καὶ ἀπατεὼν δεινῶς, ὅς, ἐξὸν σκοπεῖν τὴν ἡδονῆς φύσιν, καθόσον ἡδονή, ποῦ τάττεται, ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἢ κακοῖς, ἐν ποτέρω χορῷ παρεὶς τὸ σκέμμα, ὡς ἀγαθοῦ τῆς ἡδονῆς οὔσης, ἐσκοπεῖτο εἰ βέβαιον τὸ ἀγαθὸν τοῦτο. Καὶ ποῖον ἄν τις ἐπινοήσαι ἀγαθὸν
