Κἀν τῷ δευτέρῳ δὲ τῆς Πολιτείας ξυνῳδὰ τούτοις ξυνέγραψε· λέγει δὲ ταῦτα· «Οὐκοῦν ἀγαθὸς ὁ θεὸς τῷ ὄντι γε, καὶ λεκτέον οὕτω; — Τί μήν; — Οὐδὲν δὲ τῶν ἀγαθῶν βλαβερόν· ἦ γάρ; — Οὔ μοι δοκεῖ. — Ἆρα τὸ μὴ βλαβερὸν βλάπτει; — Οὐδαμῶς. — Ὃ δὲ μὴ βλάπτει κακόν τι ποιεῖ; — Οὐδαμῶς. — Οὐδ' ἄν τινος εἴη κακοῦ αἴτιον; — Πῶς γάρ; — Τί δέ; ὠφέλιμον τὸ ἀγαθόν; — Ναί. — Αἴτιον ἄρα εὐπραγίας; — Ναί. — Οὐκ ἄρα γε πάντων αἴτιον τὸ ἀγαθόν, ἀλλὰ τῶν μὲν εὖ ἐχόντων πάντων, τῶν δὲ κακῶν ἀναίτιον. —
