Ἐπειδὴ δὲ διχῇ τὰ αἰσθητὰ διέκρινε γένη καὶ τὰ μὲν λογικὰ πεποίηκε, τὰ δὲ ἄλογα, ὑπέταξε τῷ λογικῷ ζῴῳ τῶν ἀλόγων τὴν φύσιν. Τυραννεῖ δὲ ὅμως τινὰ τούτων καὶ στασιάζει πρὸς τὴν ἀρχὴν καὶ ἐπιβουλεύειν πειρᾶται· ἐπειδὴ δὲ καὶ οἱ τούτων ἄρχοντες ταὐτὸ τοῦτο δρῶσι, καὶ λόγῳ τιμηθέντες κατὰ τοῦ πεποιηκότος λυττῶσι, διὰ δὴ τοῦτο καὶ αὐτοὶ στασιάζονται, ὅπως δι' ὧν πάσχουσι μάθωσιν, ὡς σχέτλιον καὶ παμπόνηρον τὸ παραβαίνειν τὴν τάξιν καὶ τοὺς κειμένους ὅρους ἀδεῶς ὑπερβαίνειν.
