a. τὸ διδάξασθαι δέ τοι: ὡς τοῦ Μελησίου προηθληκότος, εἶτα νῦν ἀλείφοντος καὶ διδάσκοντος τὸν Ἀλκιμέδοντα, οὗ ἀλείπτης ἦν. διὸ καὶ ἔφη· τὸ διδάξασθαι δέ τοι εἰδότι ῥαΐτερον· ὁ γὰρ εἰδὼς ῥᾷον διδάσκει, οὐκ ἀγνοῶν. b. τὸ διδάξασθαι δέ τοι ῥαΐτερον: τὸ διδάξασθαι δέ τι ἐπιστάμενον βέλτιον καὶ εὔκολόν ἐστι, τὸ δὲ μὴ προμαθεῖν ἀπειρίαν ἔχει· τοιγαροῦν τῶν ἀπειράτων ἀνόητοί εἰσι καὶ κοῦφοι καὶ ὡς ἔτυχεν οἱ λογισμοὶ φερόμενοι. ταῦτα δέ φησιν ἐπειδὴ διδάσκαλος ἐγένετο, ἀλείφων τὸν Ἀλκιμέδοντα, καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου αὐτὸν θαυμάζει ὡς ἀπὸ πείρας καὶ ἐπιστήμης διδάσκοντα.
