τὰ δὲ ἀμείνω καὶ τελειότερα τῷ μεσαιτάτῳ καὶ καρποφορεῖν δυναμένῳ διαφερόντως ἡγεμονικῷ προσερρίζου· ταῦτα δέ εἰσι νόησις, κατάληψις, εὐστοχία, μελέται, μνῆμαι, ἕξεις, διαθέσεις, τεχνῶν ἰδέαι πολύτροποι, βεβαιότης ἐπιστημῶν, τῶν ἀρετῆς ἁπάσης θεωρημάτων ἄληστος ἀνάληψις. τούτων οὐδὲν οὐδεὶς θνητὸς ἱκανὸς φυτουργῆσαι, πάντων δὲ ἀθρόων εἷς ὁ ἀγένητος τεχνίτης, οὐ πεποιηκὼς μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ποιῶν ἀεὶ καθ’ ἕκαστον τῶν γεννωμένων τὰ φυτὰ ταῦτα.
