καὶ μὴν εἰ τὸ ‘‘θνητὸν” φαίη τις ἄνθρωπον εἶναι, ἀκολουθήσει τὸ καὶ τὰ ἄλογα τῶν ζῴων θνητὰ ὄντα ἀνθρώπους ὑπάρχειν. τὸ δὲ ὅμοιον καὶ περὶ τοῦ “λογίζεσθαί τε καὶ ἐπιστήμης δεκτικὸν εἶναι” χρὴ φρονεῖν. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ καὶ εἰς θεοὺς πίπτει τὰ τοιαῦτα· δεύτερον δέ, εἴπερ ἐπιδεκτικόν ἐστι τούτων ὁ ἄνθρωπος, οὐκ ἔστι ταῦτα ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ’ ἐκεῖνος τούτων ἐπιδεκτικὸς οὗ τὴν φύσιν οὐ παρέστησαν.
