ἀντιλέγεται δὲ περὶ πολλῶν καὶ τὰ μὲν ἁπλῶς τὰ δ᾽ εἰς τὸ βέλτιον καὶ χεῖρον ὥσπερ κατὰ τὰς ἄλλας τέχνας. ἐνταῦθα δὲ καὶ ἰδιώτερόν τι συμβαίνει. πρὸς γὰρ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἔνιοι χώραν τετραμμένοι τὰ πρόσφορα πολλάκις καθόλου λέγουσιν. ὁτὲ δὲ καὶ ἀμφοτέρως γινομένων ἄκριτόν ἐστι τὸ βέλτιον· ὁποῖα γὰρ ἂν ᾖ τὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀέρος συμβαίνοντα τοιαῦτα ἀποβαίνει καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἐργασίας.
