Ἐπαγωνιζόμενος δ’ ὁ Κριτόλαος ἐχρῆτο καὶ τοιούτῳ λόγῳ· τὸ αἴτιον αὑτῷ τοῦ ὑγιαίνειν ἄνοσόν ἐστιν· ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ αἴτιον αὑτῷ τοῦ ἀγρυπνεῖν ἄγρυπνόν ἐστιν· εἰ δὲ τοῦτο, καὶ τὸ αἴτιον αὑτῷ τοῦ ὑπάρχειν ἀίδιόν ἐστιν· αἴτιος δ’ ὁ κόσμος αὑτῷ τοῦ ὑπάρχειν, εἴ γε καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἅπασιν· ἀίδιος ἄρα ὁ κόσμος ἐστίν.
