συνᾴδειν δὲ τοῖς εἰρημένοις φασὶ καὶ τὰ κατὰ τὸν βίον, ἔτι δὲ τὰ κατὰ τὰς τέχνας πράγματα. ὅ τε γὰρ βίος ἕκαστον κρίνει κριτηρίοις ἅπερ ἐστὶν ἀριθμοῦ μέτρα. ἐὰν γοῦν ἀνέλωμεν τὸν ἀριθμόν, ἀναιρεθήσεται <μὲν> ἐκ δυεῖν ἡμιπηχείων καὶ παλαιστῶν ἐξ καὶ δακτύλων εἰκοσιτεσσάρων συγκείμενος, ἀναιρεθήσεται δὲ μέδιμνος καὶ τάλαντον καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν κριτηρίων· ταῦτα γὰρ πάντα ἐκ πλειόνων συνεστῶτα εὐθὺς ἀριθμοῦ ἐστιν εἴδη.
