ἐπεὶ γὰρ οὔτε πάντες ἄ θρωποι ἐγκωμιάζεσθαι θέλουσιν οὔτε ἐπὶ τοῖς αὐτοῖς, δεῖ τὸν μέλλοντα καλῶς ἐγκωμιά- ζειν εἰδέναι τὴν τοῦ ἐγκωμιαζομένου διάθεσιν οὐ πᾶν δέ γε τὸ καθʼ ἕτερον κίνημα ληπτ[έ ]όν ἐστιν ἑτέρῳ. καὶ ἄλλως οἱ ῥήτορες οὐ παραδεδώκασί τινα μέθοδον διʼ ἧς εἰσόμεθα τὸ πότε καὶ τίνα ἐγκωμιαστέον ἐστίν οὐκ ἄρα δυνατὸν ἀπὸ ῥητορικῆς ὑγιῶς ἐγκωμιάζειν.
