οὐδ' ἄρα, εἰ ὑπείληπται ἐπιστήμη, πράξει. Δοκ ῶ δ', ὅτι καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς αὐλ ητικῆς παραβληθήσετ αι καὶ τῆς κιθαριστικῆς αὐτὸ καί τινων φιλο σοφίας εἰδῶν. Καὶ τὸ σύνολον τὸ πιθανὸν οὐ τεχνικῶς γίνεται ἢ ἐπιστημόνως ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰκαστικῶς ει καὶ πεποίηκεν· ἐφ' ὧν γὰρ τεχνῶν εἰκασμός ἐστιν, ὁ κατὰ ταύτας λεγόμενος τεχνίτης σον στοχάζεται
