εἴπερ γὰρ ἄλλο τι καθέστηκεν ἡ δι- κανικὴ ὑπόθεσις καὶ ἄλλο τι ἡ συμβουλευτικὴ καὶ οὐ ταὐτὸν τῇ ἐγκωμιαστικῇ, πάντως τὸ τέλος τῆς δικανικῆς οὐκ ἂν εἴη καὶ τῆς συμβουλευτικῆς τέλος, καὶ τὸ ταύτης οὐκ ἔσται τῆς ἐγκωμιαστικῆς, καὶ ἐναλλάξ. ἐπεὶ οὖν τῆς συμβουλευτικῆς τέλος ἐστὶ τὸ συμφέρον, οὐκ ἂν εἴη τοῦτο τῆς δικανικῆς τέλος. ἦν δέ γε τῆς δικανικῆς τέλος τὸ δί- καμιον· οὐκ ἄρα τὸ δίκαιόν ἐστι συμφέρον.
