Τρεῖς μέν εἰσιν ἰδέαι, δι’ ὧν τὸ ἄριστον τέλος, μάθησις, φύσις, ἄσκησις, τρεῖς δὲ καὶ σοφῶν οἱ πρεσβύτατοι κατὰ Μωυσῆν ἐπώνυμοι τούτων· ὧν τοὺς βίους ἀναγεγραφώς, τόν τε ἐκ διδασκαλίας καὶ τὸν αὐτομαθῆ καὶ τὸν ἀσκητικόν, τέταρτον κατὰ τὸ ἑξῆς ἀναγράψω τὸν πολιτικόν, οὗ πάλιν ἐπώνυμον ἕνα τῶν φυλάρχων διασυνίστησιν ἐκ πρώτης ἡλικίας συγκροτηθέντα.
