τοῦτʼ οὖν τὸ κριτήριον πάλιν ἤτοι τεχνικόν τί ἐστι (καὶ περὶ ἑλληνισμόν, εἴγε καὶ τῆς περὶ τὸν ἑλληνισμὸν κρινούσης, εἰ ὑγιῶς κρίνει, δοκιμαστικὸν καθέστηκεν), ἢ ἄτεχνον. ἀλλὰ τεχνικὸν μὲν περὶ ἑλληνισμὸν οὐκ ἄν εἴη διὰ τὴν προειρημένην εἰς ἄπειρον ἔκπτωσιν ἄτεχνον δʼ εἰ λαμβάνοιτο τὸ κρι- τήριον, οὐκ ἄλλο τι εὑρήσομεν ἢ τὴν συνήθειαν. ἡ ἄρα συνήθεια καὶ αὐτὴν τὴν περὶ ἑλληνισμὸν τέχνην κρίνουσα οὐ δεήσεται τέχνης.
